Task Updates

M

MNA

Hi,
When updating Projects and saving, all resources assigned to a task are sent
updates. I was under the impression this only occurred when publishing the
Project. Did I do something wrong? or it is desired behaviour?

It sounds like you are clicking Collaborate - Publish - Republish
Assignments every time you finish processing task updates, as doing so will
automatically trigger an outgoing e-mail message. However, this is not the
correct process to follow after processing task updates. Instead, you
merely need to click Collaborate - Publish - All Information to "push" the
latest schedule changes to PWA and this should not trigger outgoing e-mail
messages. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale!
But the problem is when we save the project first time, assignments are
being published. Is that normal? and we are just saving no publishing.

If projects are being published at the same time they are being saved, then
someone probably set an option in those projects to cause this behavior.
Open any of the projects in question, click Tools - Options, and then click
the Collaborate tab. Examine the options selected in the "On every save,
publish..." section at the bottom of the dialog. None of them should be
selected. If any of them are selected, then deselect them. To solve this
problem permanently, you would need to do this on every offending project
and on every enterprise project template, as well. Hope this helps.
