Published Notifications not working

[Terry Montgomery]

Greetings,

According to the documentation I am reading, if you have a published project
with enterprise resources, when ever you make a new assignment of a resource
to a task the team member gets email notification via the
Collaborate/Publish/New and Changed Assignments function within Project
Professional. I have the email server configuration built in PWA but
notifications are not working. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Are resources able to send Updates from their timesheets to the PM without a
problem? (This can give us a clue to a possoble cause of your e-mail
trouble.)

Reid,

I cannot get a task assignment to post to the "My Tasks" view from the
project plan when I create a new assignment so there is not a way to test if
a team member can record work hours to a task. I had the team member install
the Outlook client. Nothing is being sent to Outlook either on new task
assignments.
The funny thing is, it all works for me when I have assignments. It shows up
in PWA and Outlook both. The only difference is that I am a Project Server
administrator.
Any ideas?

I think you need to focus on whether you have changed any permissions for
Team Members that would affect their ability to receive and see their
assignments.

If permissions (Groups, Categories) are definitely set right, then maybe the
resources are on a project team only as Proposed, instead of Committed. (See
Booking Type) in the Build Team from Enterprise dialog box.)
