Cost Management Notifications

Several actions in Cost Management result in email notifications for participants in the workflow. Email notifications provide timely updates, enhance accountability, boost efficiency, offer convenience, and aid in record-keeping, streamlining the overall workflow process.

Project administrators can customize email notification settings for a project by controlling who receives which notifications. Project members with Edit permission or above can customize their own email notification frequency settings for the tools they have access to.

Refer to the table in Notifications in ACC Tools and Products to access links to tool-specific help topics.

Note: If the actor and the recipient are the same person, no email notification will be sent to them.
