Alfresco Share and 'Data Lists'

[mauroreggio]

Hi all,
This is my first post here.
I install Bitnami Alfresco (Alfresco version 3.4.d).
I'm nice to use, for my team organization, Alfresco Share where i can create Site about project and keep in this site material usefull for all the team person.
If i create one Project Site, from my "Control Panel", in this "Project Site" i can choice which "Pages" i desire include in the site ("Control Panel" >> "Other" >> "Customize").
My question is about "Data Lists" page.
In this kind of page, i can include different type of data lists: "To do lists" - "Contact Lists" - "Task Lists"
If i add a "Task List", i think (in my fantasy) that if i add a "Task" in this list, and i ASSIGN this task at one user, this user recive a notification (via mail for example) and this task appear in the "Task List" of the user in the control panel of this user. All this not happened. The "Task List" is like a statical list of task without interaction with other parts of Alfresco Share.
The question is: i understand bad this function or something not works good?
Thanks all,
bye,
Mauro.

No I'll have to do the upgrade. Security risks are buzz words my boss won't like to hear.

I had a question about the links you sent…I am reading the blog and had a crazy idea. What if I edited OR added to the datalistModel.xml file that already comes with Alfresco? How much would that break things? Would it be better to just copy the contents of this file and make an entirely new xml file for Alfresco to read?

You should avoid editing out-of-the-box files as much as possible. There really shouldn't be a reason to do it and it complicates your future upgrade path. Extending is the way to go.

O.T. If i use "Workflow" and i assign at one member one Task, the assignee will be notified with an e-mail? … because i try and if i saw good this feature too not works in my installation.

Hi Mauro,
by default Alfresco does not send email to the user who you assign the task.

You need to customize the workflow definition.
