Action Alert Preferences

To configure the action alert preferences for the database, choose File > Manage Database > Database Settings.

In a secure database, this is available only for users with the "Manage other database settings" permission.

What’s Changed? In prior versions, similar preferences were defined in the E-mail and Other Settings window.

• Introduction to each action alert sent via e-mail. This field allows you to specify the default text that will be used at the beginning of each action alert e-mail sent from this database.
• Automatically set 'watch' for. Users can personally subscribe to "watch" specific resources and Project Planner gates that are of particular interest to them. For action resources only, the database can also be configured to auto-subscribe watches for users that have particular roles in a given action, as shown in the picture above. Note that each user can choose to personally unsubscribe later if desired (by opening the action record and clearing the check box under the Watch heading).
