    Hi,

    I probably do not understand the general concept of the tasks handling but I would like to be able to assign a task to someone else and to be notified about every change regarding this task. The problem is that in the minute I assign a task I actually change the owner of the task and therefore - due to my understandings - I am not informed anymore about any status change.

    Please advice

     

    Thanks

    Ariel,

     

    I think you can do it from server side callout.

    You need another field to record the previous owner(you) on the activity entities.

     

    When state changes, the code may drop you an email.

    Ariel,

     

    That's right, you do need extra development works for tracking activities.

     

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Thank you.

    Is it workflow development, client-side or server side?

    Can you give any hint where to start with.

     

    Thanks

    Thank you. I will probably try something like this. I just cannot understand what is the meaning of the follow up option within the task activities.

     

    Thanks

    In adition to jim,

     

    You have to build your own asp.net solution to do tracking or use workflow .net assembly to achieve this.

     

     

    Callouts might be use when any update happen to store tracking.

     

    MS CRM SDK will help you to achieve such things.

     

    Regards,

    Imran
