Assign task

Share lists Learn how to share a list with collaborators

To assign a task:

  1. Open a task in a shared list by clicking on it.
  2. In the task detail panel, click on the “Add assignee” button (person icon).
  3. A dropdown will appear listing all collaborators who share the list. Click on the collaborator you want to assign the task to.

You can assign a task to yourself and you can have multiple assignees for the same task. Assigned users will see a profile icon next to the task.

Tasks assigned from a Google Doc

Section titled “Tasks assigned from a Google Doc”
Tasks assigned from Docs and Chat Where assigned tasks appear and how to move them to the right list

A task assigned to someone inside a Google Doc (or a Google Chat space) is special: Google marks it as an assigned task, keeps the assignment information read-only, and does not allow such a task to have notes — a restriction of the Google Tasks API that TasksBoard cannot lift.

When such a task is moved into a shared list, TasksBoard automatically shows the original assignee from the Doc to everyone on the board, and assignees added in TasksBoard sync normally between collaborators.
