Automatically creating Project Activities
For example you can automatically create Project Activities when a Project is created, perhaps setting a due date 2 weeks after the created date.
Add Action > Create a new Activity > Configure and manage data settings
Enter a name for the Activity
Set an Owner
Set a Type
To set the start date 2 weeks after the created date, enter ={ [START_DATE] + 2w }
Save and activate the alert
You may wish top notify recipients when new project activity is created.
Adding an additional action of an alert to the owner of an activity when its created will ensure that the colleague is aware of the new item.
