1.	Navigate to the Customize Alerts screen.

Locale: English (or choose your locale)

Planning Object : Request

Alert Event : A project request is submitted

2.	Click Get Alert Details in the Customize Alerts section.

3.	Delete the default subject and body text and use the attributes and tabs lists to construct the following subject and message.

Your approval is needed to start this project. This request was created on <attribute>Created Date</attribute>.
