Sending Notifications on a Start Date

This function allows a single email notification to be sent on the Start Date of a Work Order, in addition to any notifications sent on the work order creation date.

Usually a work order is created shortly before the work needs to be done. All task notifications are sent when a work order is created. However, there are times when a work order is generated ahead of time, either manually or using a PM. In these cases it might be better to have a notification generate on the Work Order's start date reminding employees of the work.
