Hi,<br />
if it is a task list (from the task list template) then you can use the out-of-the-box feature &quot;Send email if ownership is assigned&quot; (List settings -&gt; Advanced settings).<br />
Otherwise you would have to create a workflow (SharePoint designer - no code solution) or an event receiver (code-solution).<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a sharepoint list in which I want users to be emailed when their name is entered in an 'assigned to' field. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The regional IT person at my work says that each user has to set themselves up to be notified, but I know this can also be handled by the site admin (myself).<br />
<br />
Can someone help?
