How to create Recurring Tasks?

Question

I need to set reminders from a Task list to specific people without human intervention. I want reminders for updates every week from the list. Is it possible to do it without using Calendar?

My Scenario is as follows: I want a Task to be created in a name of a person every Monday with a due date on Wednesday.

Answer 1

You'd have to use Sharepoint Designer and setup a workflow. Workflows works without human intervention. Have a look at this article which explains: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/introduction-to-designing-and-customizing-workflows-HA101859249.aspx?CTT=3
