Assign task
Tasks can be assigned to the people who share the list. The assignee’s avatar shows on the task card, and every task assigned to you is collected in the Assigned to me smart board.
Assign a task
Section titled “Assign a task”- Click a task in a shared list to open the editor.
- Click the “Add assignee” button (person icon) in the editor toolbar.
- Pick a collaborator in the popover, or type a name to filter the list.
You can assign a task to yourself and a task can have several assignees. To remove an assignee, open the task and click the cross next to their name.
See who is responsible
Section titled “See who is responsible”Assigned tasks show the assignee’s avatar on the card. Hover the avatar to see the name and email; from there you can email them or create a calendar event with them.
Everything assigned to you
Section titled “Everything assigned to you”Open the sidebar and click “Assigned to me”. This smart board gathers the tasks assigned to you across all your lists, including tasks assigned to you from a Google Doc or Google Chat.
Tasks assigned from a Google Doc
Section titled “Tasks assigned from a Google Doc”A task assigned to someone inside a Google Doc (or a Google Chat space) is special: Google keeps the assignment read-only and does not allow such a task to have notes. This is a restriction of the Google Tasks API that TasksBoard cannot lift.
When such a task is moved into a shared list, TasksBoard shows the original assignee from the Doc to everyone on the board, and assignees added in TasksBoard sync normally between collaborators.
