Assigning Tasks

Assignments connect work to people. They are not a separate to-do system; they are a way to surface ownership from the places where production work already happens.

What You Can Assign

Team members can be assigned to several kinds of work:

• Ideas through the Idea's assignee field.
• Checklist tasks inside an Idea.
• Calendar Events through event attendees/team members.
• Scripts through the Script editor's assignees menu.
• Custom fields that use a team-member field type.
• Thumbnail work where thumbnail workflows expose designer or reviewer assignments.

Best Practices

• Assign the person who owns the next action.
• Use checklist tasks for specific production steps.
• Use Script assignees for writing or review ownership.
• Use Calendar Event team members for meetings, shoots, reviews, and deadlines.
• Keep assignments current so the feed remains useful.

Where Assignments Go

Assigned work appears on the Assignments page. That page gives each team member a high-level feed of work connected to them across the Team.
