SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

I am a Project Server and SharePoint consultant but my main focus currently is around Project Server. I have been working with Project Server for nearly five years since 2007 for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the UK, I have also been awared with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011. I am also a certified Prince2 Practitioner. This article has been cross posted from pwmather.wordpress.com (original article)

A question I see and hear quite frequently is “Where has Manage My Alerts options gone in 2013?”. These have now moved the the PWA Settings page:

The two links for Manage My Alerts and Reminders and Manage My Resources’ Alerts and Reminders only appear once the SMPT server details have been enabled for the PWA instance. When the PWA notifications are removed from the PWA instance the two links are removed:

To enable notifications and enter the SMTP details, navigate to the Project Server Service Application in Central Admin, click Manage from the drop down menu next to the PWA site:

Enable the notifications and enter the SMTP server details on the Alerts and Reminders page. Once set, the two Manage Alerts links will appear on the PWA Sever Settings page under the Personal Settings heading. These links are permission controlled though.
