Alerts

Use the "Alerts" feature to notify you when certain conditions are met. There are three main types of alerts:

1. Project Alerts
2. Time Log Alerts
3. Work Item Alerts

Alerts are sent to you based on conditions around your information (e.g., your work items, projects, or time logs). However, if you are a  manager, then you can also receive automated alerts that are relevant to the people you manage. In the screenshot below, the user happens to be a manager, so we can see the people they manage. This particular alert will send out an automated notification every day at 8:00 AM if Mark or Brandon has projects due the following day.

Active

You have the option to turn the alert on or off. This can be useful if you go on vacation and don't want to receive any notifications while you are away.
