Contents of the Resource Assignment Alert Configuration Form

Use these fields and options to set up an alert to notify a resource and the resource's supervisor when the resource is assigned to a project.

Field Description
Alert Rule Name This field displays the names of existing alert rules; or, if you are creating a new alert rule, enter the name of the rule (for example, Resources for All Boston-Based Projects). You can change the name of an existing rule; however, all alert rule names must be unique.
Enabled Select this option to enable the rule. When the alert is Active, this feature allows you to enable only selected rules, without having to delete any unwanted rules. In other words, if the alert is Active, then Deltek will run any one of its Enabled rules. If the alert is not Active, then Deltek will not run any of its rules, even if rules are Enabled.
Languages This column displays if you use the Deltek Multilingual application. Use this column to select the language for this alert. Only employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this column blank, all employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language. For example, if you create an email alert for English US and English UK, then only the users that have English US or English UK in the Language field in the Employees hub receive that message. The system administrator must set up a separate alert rule for Spanish employees to receive a message in Spanish. The Language field displays <languages selected> if any languages are selected.
The Plan: Include Utilization In the alert configuration, if Include Utilization is selected for the Plan, only plans for which the Include in Utilization and Project Reports option (located on the Plan’s General tab) is selected will be included in the alert. If the Include Utilization option is not selected, then changes made to any plan will be included in the alert.
Send To: Supervisor Select this option if you want to send the alert to the supervisor(s).
Send To: Assignee Select this option if you want to send the alert to the assignee.
Selected Employees Use the Employee lookup to select the employee(s) to whom you want to send the alert.
Delivery Options: Email Select this option if you want Deltek to send the alert via email.
Delivery Options: Dashboard Select this option if you want Deltek to send the alert via the dashboard.
