I question about Sharepoint. If I have a Sharepoint list of actions (looks similar to Excel table). There are different people who have to make the actions and I can choose them from dropdown menu. Also there are target dates for these actions. Is it possible to have alert to the person responsible for the action and also alert when the target date has passed?

Thank you for your informative and helpful video! :)

I've received alerts indicating that a significant amount of data was downloaded or altered within the past two days. However, I was not involved in any such activity, and there were no changes made by me or any suspicious activity detected on my computer.

Could these alerts be false positives, or could they be the result of a hacking attempt or phishing scam?

Thanks once again.

I can see all the alerts i set up for a user but there is no link to edit like you have at 5:07. How does my SPO team enable the links?

Is there a way to send out alerts to everyone in the company regarding something posted on the SharePoint site? I am new to SP and was tasked to come up with a way to create an HR-Events calendar for the entire firm.
