Assign people to tasks

A key part of Geniebelt is assigning tasks to project members and giving them responsibility for completing them. Once assigned, they can update progress, attach photos, report issues, write and send comments, and mark tasks as completed.

Only Project leaders and Administrators can assign tasks.

However, if you are a Member and have been assigned a task, you can also assign it to additional colleagues. See video on how to do this at the bottom of this page.

When editing a task, you can assign it to one or more people in the Assignees field at the top of the task side panel on the right.

Enter the person's name or email address to assign them to the task.

You can also select multiple tasks using Shift or Ctrl to assign the same people to several tasks at once.

Double-click the Assignees column to edit task assignments.

You can also select multiple tasks to assign responsible persons to several tasks at once.

In Cross-project, you can assign tasks across multiple projects.

Select one or more tasks and assign the responsible persons.

If email addresses are included on tasks in the imported file, these people will automatically be invited to the project and assigned to the relevant tasks.

If you add new email addresses to a file before reimporting it, these new people will be assigned to the relevant tasks.

Please note: Assigning a task does not trigger a separate email notification if the person has already been invited to the project.

If the person has not yet been invited, they will receive an email invitation to the project, but not a notification about the specific task.

Once assigned, responsible persons will receive notifications about all changes made to the task.

As a Member, you can re-assign a task to additional colleagues if you are already assigned to that task.

Watch the below video to see how to assign a task you are responsible for to another colleague.
