Updates automatically rules

Hi,how to use updates automatically rules?

1. I set rules for automatically accepting changes such as: all task updates->all my current and future projects->All current and future resources registered in the Project Server database .
2.When I log on, I have to go to the updates center and manually run : apply rules-> run rules now.

I wonder that all the tasks are updated automatically when I log on the PWA. And I needn't run the rules manually. How can I do it?

You must manually click the Run Rules Now button to process task updates
from your team members as there is no way to run Rules automatically without
your involvement. Frankly, I don't recommend using Rules to process task
updates because you lose control of the process and you cannot easily
determine what your people are trying to tell you in their updates. For
example, if a team member adjusts the Remaining Work value from 40 hours to
80 hours, and adds a task Note to document the reason for the revised
estimate, you will never notice either of these if you process the update
automatically. Nor will you be able to catch when somebody "fat fingers" an
Actual Work value and types 23 hours in a day when they meant to type only 2
hours for that day, and then the update causes your schedule to go crazy.
Just my opinion, however. Hope this helps.
