Alerts and date types

When setting up default alerts, an administrator can set notifications for targeted dates, forecast dates, or both.

There are five alerts for targeted dates:

A workflow task is targeted to start within n day(s)

A workflow task is targeted to end within n day(s)

A workflow milestone is targeted to end within n day(s)

A workflow task is overdue according to targeted dates (alerted at most for n day(s))

A workflow task is late according to targeted dates (alerted at most for n day(s))

And there are another corresponding five alerts for forecast dates:

A workflow task is forecasted to start within n day(s)

A workflow task is forecasted to end within n day(s)

A workflow milestone is forecasted to end within n day(s)

A workflow task is overdue according to forecasted dates (alerted at most for n day(s))

A workflow task is late according to forecasted dates (alerted at most for n day(s))

These setting are in the Projects | Reminders section of the Default Alert Subscriptions screen.
