How do I assign a task to someone?

Open the task, click the + next to Assigned To, and pick a person. A task can have several assignees.

Steps

1. Open the task.
2. On the Overview tab, click the + circle under Assigned To.
3. Type a name or email in Search team members….
4. Click the person to assign them. Their avatar appears under Assigned To.
5. To unassign someone, click their avatar and confirm “Remove … from this task?”.

Good to know

• The search shows the project’s members first. If no members match, it searches everyone in your company.
• The person gets a notification that they’ve been assigned. The task then appears in Assigned to Me on their Dashboard.
• Assigning someone doesn’t add them to the project. If they aren’t a project member, they’ll get Access denied when they open the task. Ask the Project Lead to add them through Manage Team.
• Assignees are notified about new comments and status changes on the task.
• To assign or unassign many tasks at once, use Assign in the List View bulk action bar.
