What’s alert

Alert is a function that provides visual notification on the WBS when there is a delay in the progress of issues.

Please see the following page for details.

Viewing due dates and task delays

Add an alert configuration

Click the Add button in the upper right corner of the list to display a dialog box.

Alert target status

Set the status of the issue as a condition for displaying the alert.

Status categories or individual statuses can be set.

Alert target field

Set whether the field that triggers the alert is the start or finish date-time.

Hours to start alert

Sets the number of hours to be alerted if the current time is hours past the Alert target field.

Negative values will cause an alert to be displayed at an earlier time than the value of the Alert target field.

The set alert conditions are displayed in the info panel at the bottom of the dialog.
If the conditions are correct, click the Add button to register the alert setting.
