Hi there,
I know this topic has been visited a number of times but I'm a bit unsure as to whether what I have read so far completely suits my needs.
I have a list which details the length of employee's service. So, I have created a date field called "Service Start" and a "TODAY" column. I had initially created a calculated column of([TODAY]-[Service Start])/325.25) which gives me my desired result. As many have experienced, the TODAY field is not dynamic so when the next day comes round, this field does not update. Also, attached to this list is a Workflow which I have set to start when an item is changed.
What I am needing for is the TODAY field to update daily which in turn will trigger the workflow again if it isn't already in progress. Would the option of creating a timer job be the best option in this instance..? If so, can I please be pointed in the right direction on how to create this. If this is not the best option, I look forward to any suggestions.
