Enabling Email Notification for a Task List

Question

I need to start using the Issue List and Task List features of Sharepoint, including email notifications being sent to persons who have been assigned list items.
For the Issue List, the General Setting "Send e-mail to person assigned to issue" is displayed and can be set to Yes or No. This works fine.
However with the Task List, this option is not displayed in the General Settings. How to add this option to the General Settings for a Task list?
Thanks.

Answer 1

For a Task list, the setting for Email notification is under the Advanced List Settings option.

Hi,

 

By default, you can add content by sending e-mail to discussion boards, announcements, and calendar lists, if incoming e-mail is enabled on your site. Tasks, project tasks, and issue-tracking lists can send e-mail to people when items are assigned to them, if outgoing mail is enabled for the site. Other lists can be enabled by your administrator with a custom solution such as an e-mail handler.

 

For more information about create a list, please refer to the following article:

Hope this helps.
