Stump the Panel Topic: Project Alert http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ SharePoint QA en Sun, 31 May 2009 01:32:11 +0000 eric on "Project Alert" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/project-alert#post-6674 Thu, 14 May 2009 13:23:34 +0000 eric 6674@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>That would just be 2 condition statements in a step of the work flow. The due date and status are going to be fields to reference so you'd just do 2 data comparisons like:</p> <p>If % Complete is less than 100<br /> and due date is less than today</p> <p>Do something</p> <p>(taken from a stock tasks list) </p> Richard Surgener on "Project Alert" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/project-alert#post-6661 Thu, 14 May 2009 11:29:55 +0000 Richard Surgener 6661@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Thank you. This is a great start. Although I am still a bit stumped as to how to identify that the due date has exceeded today's date and that the task status is less than complete. Any ideas? </p> pagalvin on "Project Alert" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/project-alert#post-6641 Wed, 13 May 2009 20:23:44 +0000 pagalvin 6641@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>A variation of the solution described here could work: <a href="http://sharepointmagazine.net/technical/development/the-dog-ate-my-task-use-sharepoint-designer-to-email-daily-task-reminders" rel="nofollow">http://sharepointmagazine.net/technical/development/the-dog-ate-my-task-use-sharepoint-designer-to-email-daily-task-reminders</a> </p> Richard Surgener on "Project Alert" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/project-alert#post-6637 Wed, 13 May 2009 18:24:34 +0000 Richard Surgener 6637@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Is there a way to send an alert when a project task due date has expired without it being completed/changed? I have looked at the options to send an alert within SharePoint but don't see how to alert someone that a task has exceeded the due date without it being completed. The alerts seem to be designed for when something changes but what happens if nothing changes and the date expires? Not sure if this is a workflow thing or not. Thanks, Rich </p>
