Project Server 2010 - Notification on new task, but not on old task with new assignment.

Hello everyone,

in an installation of Project Server 2010 (SP1CU06/11), I have setup notifications for myself as follows:

Checked "I receive a new task assignment in my projects", unchecked everything else.

Now, when I create a new task, assign myself and publish, I get an email. When I create a task and assign myself like a team member would in PWA (Task or Timesheet page / assign myself to task), it get an email. But when I create a task in MS Project, publish it, and then still in MS Project assign myself and publish it again, I do not get an email.

Does anyone else experience this behaviour? Has this been around before, or is this issue new in SP1 and/or CU6? Any feedback or comment would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Adrian

If you published a task without assigning a resource, wouldn't you automatically be the assignment owner and therefore should have gotten an email triggered that time? Did that happen? (This is the behavior I see in 07)

When publishing a task with no resource, then there is no assignment and no assignment owner either.

In my tests, I was the project manager/creator/owner as well as the resource since I assigned myself, and I never get a mail in this process. When I create a task, assign myself and publish, I always get a mail. If I create the task, publish, and assign myself later, I never do.

I checked only the "I receive a new task assignment in my projects" checkbox, since I only want to be informed about new tasks. but not about any other changes.

Thank you for having looked into it in 2007 though.

Kind regards,
Adrian

What we found is that you need to check off both boxes:

In certain cases Project Server thinks the task / assignment is modified even when the assignment itself is new. This can happen if your project has say 20 tasks listed, and then you go about assigning resources at a later point in time - such as your example.

I found by setting on these both checkboxed the resource indeed gets a notification for new task assignment in all cases - but the drawback is they are also being notified when something changes (too much spam as well).

Hi Nilesh,

that does seem like a plausible explanation. So, the two check boxes actually function as:
- I receive an assignment on a new task.
- A task is changed, and I now have an assignment on this task.
Did anyone get a more official confirmation on this issue?

Kind regards,
Adrian
