  WorkspacesThis topic relates to Journey Workspaces   |     Workspaces UserIncludes bank staff, helpdesk, relationship managers, and managers   |  18.11This feature was introduced in the 18.11 release23.04This feature was updated in the 23.04 release

If you manage a team, you may need to schedule work to meet various needs; for example, to share work across your team, to accommodate team member absences, or to satisfy an SLAA service-level agreement (SLA) is a commitment between a service provider and a client. Particular aspects of the service – quality, availability, responsibilities – are agreed between the service provider and the service user.. A user with access to the Manage space, such as a manager or a Workspaces administrator, can change task assignments to address any such needs. For example, an unassigned task can be assigned to someone.

The Assign action is available in the Manage space, and can be performed on tasks that satisfy the following conditions.

  • The task is not assigned to anyone.
  • The task is assignable to the target user; that is, the target user has the necessary permissions to access the task.

If these conditions are satisfied, the task can be assigned to the target user.

If the task you want to assign is already assigned to someone, either remove the task assignment first by unassigning or releasing it, or reassign the task instead.

Note
  • The Assign and Reassign actions are mutually exclusive, meaning that only one of these actions is available at any time.
  • By default, the Reassign action is only available in the Manage space.

You can assign a task in the Manage space from either a List screen or a Details screen.
