You can configure a scheduled action (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions) to start a simple workflow at the start of every month and assign it to the relevant users.

There is a sample file included with the default Alfresco installation called "scheduled-action-services-context.xml.sample".

With regards to more information on the SimpleWorkflowAction you are going to have to read the source code.

Hi Zaizi,
thank you again for your rely!
I still have one problem, which is, i dont know where should i save this file! the one you said is an example.
for examle, for saving a model, we upload it in Data Dictionary> Model space! is there any space for that?
the given information in that link, is very dumb. i really dont get it! :cry:
