Hello, I want to know if it is possible to enable monthly task summary even if there is no changes on that particular task, solution can be via powershell/workflow/sharepoint.
Idea is that my supervisor wants to have monthly summary of all incomplete tasks and tasks created in current month.
They would love to receive mail from sharepoint with summary of all those tasks, in which they could see all the info like they see in regular summary when something changes in task.
Please give me some idea or if solution if anyone has done something like this before.
The search content roll-up webpart sounds like the way to go. It will allow you to aggregate all tasks across the site collection or farm/tenant if desired. Rather than list all the steps, here is a blog post on how to:

Only downside is I havent seen a solution automatically email results of the search since its evaluated when visiting a page but perhaps a weekly “Check tasks” email with a link to the page would suffice?
