Assigning Tasks
Assign tasks so everyone knows who is responsible for each piece of work.
When to use this page
Clear ownership reduces missed pickups, duplicate effort, and last-minute confusion before an event.
Who can do this
Anyone who can create or edit tasks on a project can assign them to active workspace members.
How to assign a task
- Open the task (create new or edit existing).
- Find the Assignee field.
- Select a team member from the list.
- Save the task.
You can also change assignee from the Tasks board in some views.
Who appears in the assignee list
The list includes active members of your company workspace. Removed or inactive members no longer appear for new assignments but may still show on historical tasks.
Notifications
When someone is assigned a task, LiftOff can email them if your company and their account notification settings allow it.
Unassigned tasks
Tasks without an assignee appear in the Unassigned column on the task board. Review this column regularly during busy seasons.
Next steps
- Assignees see the task on Home, Tasks, and the project Tasks section.
- Due date notifications apply when due dates are set.
