Linking Project to Outlook

How do I take information from Project to Outlook? I'd like my colleagues to get reminders from Project to their Outlooks. Do they have to have Project installed as well?

Thanks,

Michaela

Hi Michaela,

Thank you for your question.

There is no direct way of taking your Project information to Outlook. Project Server is the tool you really need to integrate Project and Outlook. They will need Project.

However if you select a task, turn on the tracking toolbar and click the Bell icon and set the reminder. This reminder will appear as a task in Outlook but will not update automatically.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
