When managing your resources, you can send helpful message to update the team about weather, schedules, or share information with certain job titles. See Send a Message for Resource Planning.
You can also send assignment alerts to notify the assignees and share key information about their resources assignment such as when they have a new assignment or when there are updates to dates, times, projects or locations. See Send Assignment Alerts in Resource Planning.
Other notifications can be sent from Resource Planning such as when a new resource request is submitted or when a tag is expiring.
