Overview
After you schedule a team task list, you have the option to assign specific tasks in the list to a user. When a team task is assigned to someone, it is their responsibility to complete.
Considerations
- A team task list must be scheduled before you can assign tasks from the list to specific users.
- Only users that are scheduled to work on the selected day can be assigned a team task.
- When you assign a team task, the task is associated with that user’s shift. As a result, the task is automatically reassigned if the shift is swapped, dropped, or reassigned.
Assign team tasks
Click Scheduler.
- Go to Week or Day view.
- If you’re using week view, click next to the date.
- If you’re using day view, click Tasks.
- Click the name of the team task list that contains the tasks you want to assign.
NOTE: If you don’t see any task lists, you need to schedule a team task list. - Click Anyone under the task that you want to assign.
- Click to select the person who is responsible for completing the task.
