Overview

After you schedule a task list, you have the option to assign tasks in the list to specific people. When a task is assigned to someone, it is their responsibility to complete.

Things to know before you begin

• A task list must be scheduled before you can assign tasks from the list to specific people.
• A person must be scheduled to work on a given day to be assigned a task on that day.
• When you assign a task to someone, the task is associated with their shift. As a result, the task is automatically reassigned if the shift is swapped, dropped, or reassigned. See frequently asked questions for more details.
