Assigning tasks to your team members ensures that everyone knows what their role is, and can see which members are working on related tasks to collaborate and achieve team goals together!
How to assign tasks
Assign items on your board to each user on your account using the People Column. Click the ‘+’ sign to the right of your columns to add a new column, then select “People.”
Once you’ve added the column, you can assign team members to your tasks by clicking on the cell and typing your team member’s name.
When a task is assigned, the team member to whom it is assigned will receive a notification, so they are always up to date with their responsibilities. Users can also choose to receive email notifications.
Can I assign tasks to users who are not on my account?
Tagging team members using the People column only works for users in your account. To assign tasks to team members who aren’t in your account, you can invite them to join or use a Text Column.
Type the assignee’s name in a cell in a text column so everyone on your team knows who is responsible for that task!
