Contact List - Assigned to - automatic alert?
Hi guys,
Is there a way to automatically 'alert' someone if they are 'assigned to' a task using a contact list column?
Would love to hear a workaround if you have found one.
Cheers

Amye,
Do you mean sg like this?

There's a cool work-around from Craig.

Thanks Atus,
Yes. I tried it but can't get the 'if' function to work... still learning functions... and how they 'talk'. Will keep trying.

Do you have problems with this part: "Add formula to check the box if the column matches the Assigned To."?
it can be something like this: =IF([Assigned to]1 = "Atus Bartal", 1, 0) in a checkbox column named Atus. Then create as many checkbox columns as many people you have in the team (OK, it's nonsense if you have more than 8-10).
The second step is to set the Notifications for each person if their column changes.
I hope it works for you.
Atus
