Assigning Work Items

Assigning a work item means designating a team member as responsible for completing it.

How to Assign

There are several ways:

1. Detail modal — Open the item and use the Assignee dropdown on the right side. Select a team member or choose "Unassigned."
2. Right-click menu — Right-click an item in the List view and choose an assignee from the submenu.
3. Bulk operations — Select multiple items and use the "Assign" operation to set the same assignee on all of them.

What Happens When You Assign

• The assignee sees the item on their My Work page
• The assignee receives a notification (in-app and optionally email)
• The assignee's name appears on the item in all views (List, Board, Backlog)
• An activity log entry records who assigned it and when

Unassigning

Select "Unassigned" from the assignee dropdown (or use "Unassign" in bulk operations) to remove the assignment. The item will no longer appear on anyone's My Work page.

Tips

• 💡 On the Board view, the assignee's initials appear on each card so you can see at a glance who's working on what.
• 💡 Use the My Work page to see everything assigned to you across all projects.
• 💡 Only team members with access to your organization can be assigned. Invite them from the Team page first.
