ProjectLink Email Notification

[jreding]

Does anyone know of a way to turn off email notification to users when a new project is started or a member is added to a project? My company allows all users to have read access to all projects in Windchill. Everytime a new project is started, every user will get an email. When a new user is added, they will get an email for all running projects. We have about 200 projects so this is a huge annoyance. We are not live with ProjectLink yet, so we plan to turn off the notification queue when these are initially created at go-live but would like a better resolution on going.

Thanks for your advice,

Read access doesn't imply membership. Only members of the project should get an email. Do you have an "all users" group mapped to a role included in your project template possibly?

Jennifer,

We have been battling similar thing for over 2 years now. We also allow users read only access to PJL projects so each time a project is created or user added mass email is sent out. This has been an annoyance to say the least. We are currently investigating an alternate solution for this but have not nailed one down yet. I will keep you posted on how we decide to correct this. Incidentally we are seeing this in 8.0 M050, not sure if there is something in 9.1 that fixes this.


Thanks

We handle this by adding "read only" users to the Guests role. Users in the Guests role have read access but do not receive an email when the project is started.

We've had this problem in both 9.0 M040 and 9.1 M020. I'd really really really like to stop it.

We have two divisions, each with its own Project Template. All users in a division have full access to a Project created for their division, primarily because these projects get passed around frequently. We don't want to have to create multiple templates for subgroups to minimize the e-mail messages, and don't want to have to modify Teams on the fly to add individuals. We just want it open by division, and the e-mail notifications to stop!

Having it send out an e-mail message for a new Project makes sense. But as stated previously, it happens for previously-created Projects when someone new is added...or when a group is reorganized, the user is never truly "gone" from a Project, but when assigned in to a new group with access to that Project, there it goes again.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, have anyone found a solution to disable e-mail notifications on 9.1 M060 ?
