It is currently only possible to add assignees to a task through Geniebelt’s web application.

All users assigned to a task will see the task in the Your Tasks view in the mobile app and will receive daily updates if you change the date or anything else related to the activity.

In addition, all project participants gain better visibility of who is involved in an activity.

How to Assign Multiple People

You can assign multiple people to a task in different ways.

All Admin users can assign multiple people. In addition, any user who is already assigned to a task is granted the right to assign additional people to that specific task (but not to other tasks).

Assign multiple people to a single task

  1. Open the Task Panel on the right-hand side and click on the Assignee section.

  2. A dropdown will show all users in your network — meaning the people you currently share the project with.

  3. Select the people you want to assign. If the person you are looking for does not appear in the list, you can type their email address and press Enter.

  4. You can also search for a specific person by typing part of their name.

  5. Once you have selected all the people who should be assigned, click outside the box. The selected people will then be assigned to the task.

Assign multiple people to multiple tasks at once

  1. Open the left-hand side panel, where a list of groups and activities is shown.

  2. Use Shift/Ctrl to select multiple activities.

  3. When several activities are selected, the right-hand side Panel will open. Here, there are three options related to assigning tasks:

    1. Add assignees: Allows you to add additional people beyond those already assigned to the tasks.

    2. Replace assignees: Replaces the people currently assigned to all or some of the selected tasks.

    3. Remove assignees: Select one or multiple people to remove from the tasks they are currently assigned to.

Note

At the moment, you cannot assign multiple people via CSV/P6/MPP/Asta import or reimport.

Visibility

Once multiple users are assigned a task, all assignee will:

  • Be visible on the Mobile App.

  • See the tasks from their Your Tasks view

  • Receive notifications for this task

  • Be visible on any report
