E-mail Address (resource field)

Applies To
Project Online Desktop Client Project Standard 2024

Data Type: Text

Entry Type: Entered

Description: The E-mail Address field contains the email address of a resource. If the E-mail Address field is blank, Microsoft Office Project uses the name in the Name field as the email address.

Best Uses: Add the E-mail Address field to a resource view when you want to display, filter, or edit the email addresses for resources. Use this email address when sending schedule notes or the entire project to resources via email.

The email address can also be used for email notifications when you send team collaboration updates through Microsoft Office Project Server.

Example 

You will be communicating with the resources in your project using Project Server.

You have entered resource names in the format of "Sean Jones." However, email names are in the form of "sjones." You add the E-mail Address field to the Resource Sheet view, and then type the email addresses.

Project then uses these email addresses whenever you send an update to a resource regarding a task assignment.

Remarks: The E-mail Address field isn't available for material resources.
