How to assign a task
Assigning a task gives it a clear owner who is responsible for completing it.
#When to use this
Use this whenever a task needs someone accountable for getting it done.
#Step by step
1
Open the task
Go to the task in the project or Tasks list.
2
Set the assignee
Choose the team member responsible.
3
Save
The task now shows its owner.
#Expected result
What you should see
The task displays its assignee, and that person can find it by filtering the task list.
#Common mistakes
- Leaving tasks unassigned so they stall.
- Assigning without checking the person's workload.
#Troubleshooting

|---|---|
| The person cannot see the task | Confirm they are a member of the workspace and the task is assigned to them. |
#Best practices
- Assign every active task to one clear owner.
- Balance workload across the team.
