anigoHey hey smartie pants!
I have a Microsoft Outlook question that I wonder if anybody knows the answer to.
My intrepid boss needs us to update and send to him a TPS report two weeks and us lowly chickens often forget to send it. My intrepid boss isn't exactly computer savvy, and he has the request for the report set up as a calendar item, that works ok... (actually it doesn't, which is why I'm here) but there has to be a better way.
Am I correct in thinking that if he sends out a task request to all of his lowly chickens saying the TPS report is due every second Wednesday that a notification of some sort will advise us chickens that the task is due when its due, and that we will be able to hit the "send status report" button (or some such thing) and easy peasy we'll have sent a status report to him? Lather, rinse, repeat next time? What if the lowly chickens for the most part are also not so computer savvy and don't actually use tasks?
Thoughts?
