Planning Alerts

Using the Resource Planning Alerts settings form (Settings > Resource Planning > Alerts), you can create and activate alerts to inform a specified set of recipients of planning-related events that may require attention. Vantagepoint delivers alerts to recipients through their Notification Center, by email, or both.

The available alerts are the following:
Alert Alert Events
Baseline Change The baseline version of a project plan is replaced with a new baseline version.
Budget Milestone Planned amounts spent exceed milestone amounts, or the spent percentages of planned amounts exceed milestone percentages.
EAC Exceeds Baseline Estimate-at-completion (EAC) hours or amounts exceed the established baseline for a project plan.
Plan Creation, Modification or Deletion A new project is added (which creates a plan also), an existing plan is changed and published, or an existing project is deleted (which deletes its plan).
Resource Assignment An employee resource assignment is added to a plan or deleted from a plan.

If the plan change occurs on the Plan form in the Projects hub, the alert is triggered when the updated plan is published. If it occurs in Project View or Resource View in Resource Management, the alert is triggered immediately after the addition or deletion is made.

Resource Utilization Employee scheduled percentages or utilization percentages based on planned hours exceed, or fall short of, percentage thresholds that you specify for the alert.
WBS Level Added or Deleted A work breakdown structure (WBS) element (a phase or task, for example) is added to, or deleted from, a project and, thus, from that project's plan.
