Help setting up alerts.

M

Mariah

I am using MS Project 2007, not sure if we are using Project Server 2007. I
was directed here from General Discussion board. I know our Outlook is set
up on Exchange Server 2003.

I have figured out how to set a 3 day advance
warning alert for the start of a task to notify me, and it shows up via an
Outlook
notification alert that a task is coming up so I can check on the status of
the task and make sure our subcontractors are scheduled and ready to start
on time.

What I am trying to do is set up a second task alert for the day each task
starts. Also I want to have the notification sent not only to me but another
person in the Office who has a smart phone and recieves alerts from his
Outlook on his phone.

As it stands I am the only one who recieves the alerts.

1) How do I set up alerts to appear for multiple people?
2) How do I set up multiple alerts for a task?

Thanks

assuming I know what a PWA is, which I don't...

When I open project and go to "Help" "About MS Project" it says:
"Microsoft (r) Office Project 2007 (##.#.####.####) MSO (##.#.###.####)
(c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved."

There are real numbers where I put #'s but I didn't want to compromise the
security of my product. I'm not sure if those numbers are sensitive or not.

The front of the box the Install CD came in says "Microsoft Office Project
Standard 2007"

On the 1 sheet paper insert with the install disc there is a tiny little
byline that says:
"Includes Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Project
Portfolio Server 2007."

Now that we have established what product I am using. Can we get back to my
original post?

Mariah:

This group is for Project Server related questions. Microsoft Office Project
2007 Standard edition does not connect to Project Server. If you tell us the
steps you took to send the first alert, maybe we can help you with your
question.

I appoligize for posting in the wrong forum, I was directed here from the
general forum by another MVP saying this was a server related issue, I will
repost again in the general forum...

If Standard doesn't connect to Project Server then why is it included in the
Install package???

Steps:
While working on a project I noticed an icon in the tool bar that looks like
a small bell.
I clicked on it and it poped up a window that gave me options for the
parameters of a single alert.
I backed out and selected my entire project by clicking the upper left hand
corner.
I then selected the bell icon again and set the parameters to notify me 3
days before a task began.
I then closed the window, continued working on my project, saved & closed.

The next day I received alerts for each task that was scheduled to begin in
3 days in my Outlook alerts pop-up, the thing that notifies me of recurring
tasks I have set on my Outlook calendar.

its says so right on the insert that came with the install disc, "Includes MS
Project Server 2007 and MS Project Portfolio Server 2007"

Are you looking at some sort of eval copy disc or perhaps a Select license
or MSDN DVD? If so, then you never know what might be on the same disc. All
I can tell you is that when you purchase software, Project Pro, Project
Standard, Project Server and Portfolio Server are separately licensed
products, and you must have Project Pro to connect to Project Server.
