Alert when a row has not been updated in the last 14 days

A project lead has requested an alert that sends to him when a row (assigned to a project manager) has not been updated in the last 14 days. 

 

My attemtps at a solution:

1: Include the system column (Modified - Date)

2: Trying to apply conditional formatting to make it easily visible when viewing

3: Can't seem to work out way to set an alert based on this. Would I need to just send all rows he leads on every 14 days and then he would need to look at the modified column for the formatting?

 

Any ideas...

 

Thanks

    One idea I might try is to use the reminders function under alerts.  You will need to create another Date column based on your last modified column with the equation "=DATEONLY(Modified1)".  Then set a reminder on the Date Only Column for 14 days After the DATEONLY field.

     

    See the attached screenshot, I think this would work. There may be other ways to do it, but this seems the simplest to me.  Good Luck!
