Overdue Task Alerts

For community projects, the Overdue Task Alerts dialog box lets Project Leaders specify:

The users, other than the task owners, who receive alerts when a task within the task list is overdue. If you do not assign any users, alerts of overdue tasks are sent only to users whose tasks are overdue.
The frequency at which overdue task alerts are sent.

For personal projects, the Overdue Task Alerts dialog box lets you specify:

The users, other than yourself, who receive alerts when a task within the task list is overdue. If you do not assign any other users, alerts of overdue tasks are sent only to you.
The frequency at which overdue task alerts are sent.

Because you configure overdue task alert settings on the task list level, these settings affect all tasks within the task list. Overdue task alerts are included in the daily task summary notification A system-generated email that is sent every night to users. This email can inform users when the start date or due date occurs for one or more of the tasks that are assigned to them. This email can also alert selected users of any overdue tasks that are in a task list..

Settings

Select the frequency at which task owners and assigned users receive alerts for all tasks within the task list:

Once: Alerts are sent one time for tasks that become overdue. If you change the setting from Never to Once when alerts are already overdue, alerts are not sent for those tasks.
Daily: Alerts are sent nightly for tasks that are at least 24 hours overdue.
Weekly: Alerts are sent every Friday night once a task in this task list becomes overdue. If any tasks are overdue at the time that you change the setting to Weekly from any other setting, Oracle WebCenter Collaboration waits until tasks are one week overdue before sending out alerts for those tasks.
Never: Task alerts are never sent for tasks in the task list. This is the default.
