Task Assignment
Updated
Overview
Tasks can be assigned to individual Users or User Groups giving them responsibility and ownership for that particular Task. Task assignments are done through the Assignee field which is one of the 6 standard fields included during Project setup. The Assignee field cannot be deleted but it can be hidden from view. It can be accessed in Task Sheet view or through the Task Overlay.
Task Assignees will receive notifications and automated alerts regarding their Tasks making it easier to track their workflows.
