Tasks

Assign a task and add watchers

I want to …

… give a task to one person and add other members as watchers.

Before you start

  • Anyone in the workspace can change this.
  • Without other members there is only you, so assignment is barely visible.

Here's how

  1. Open the task. The header bar holds Assignee and Watchers.
  2. Tap Assignee and pick a member or Unassigned.
  3. On the board, the same control is the person pill on the card. It appears on hover, or stays visible with a coarse pointer.
  4. Tap Watchers. A list of every member opens. Each row is a toggle.
  5. Turn on the people who should keep an eye on the task. Tap again to remove them.
  6. Watchers do not change who owns the task. They only mark interest.
  7. Use Filter by assignee on the board to find every card for one person.

The result

The card has a responsible person. Extra watchers sit in the header bar.

Common questions

Do watchers get an email?

No. Watchers are a visible field on the task, not a notification channel.

Can a task have several assignees?

No. There is one responsible person. Checklist items can carry extra people.
