The development timeline can be such a valuable tool for keeping track of your personal tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities as you move through construction of your Project. However, it can be easy to forget about the items on your list, especially as your franchise grows. One solution to this problem is to receive notifications when tasks in your timeline have been completed, have changed, or are overdue. In this article, we'll look at some of the most convenient ways to receive notifications for your tasks, including some new functionality which allows Client Administrators to set up notifications for other Users.
All Users will be able to set development timeline notifications for themselves, starting by clicking on their name in the upper right corner of SiteZeus. In the dropdown menu that appears, select 'Settings'
For all Users, the Task Notification Area will be defaulted to your own User. Any timeline notifications you already have set up will be listed here. To create a new notification, click '+Add':
In the popup window that appears, select the Timeline from which you'll be selecting Tasks. Next, select one or more tasks for which to be notified. Next, select the Trigger for the notification. You have three options from which to choose:
-
Days Before Start - For this option, you are also prompted to enter the number of days, prior to the tasks estimated start date, of when to receive your notification.
-
When The Estimated Date Changes - This can occur either as a direct edit to that task, or when the estimated date changes as a result of other tasks in the timeline being edited.
-
When Task Completes - When this specific task is marked as 'Done'.
Added tasks will then show on the 'Task Notification Settings'. You can remove notifications you've set up by clicking the red trash can icon.
For Client Administrator Users, you can use this same area to set up notifications for other users. Simply select another User from the dropdown at the top and repeat the steps above:
