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, a task that's already assigned to a user can be reassigned to another user.

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

  • The task is assigned to someone other than the target user (the user you want to assign the task to).
  • 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 reassigned to the target user.

Info

You can't reassign a task to an Out of Office user. 24.04This feature was introduced in the 24.04 release

While you can't reassign a task that isn't already assigned to someone, you can claim an unassigned task for yourself or assign it to someone else. Claim, Assign, and Reassign are mutually exclusive actions, so only one of them is available at any time. If you simply want to remove a task's assignee, release or unassign the task instead.

Info

In the default Workspaces configuration, Assign, Reassign, and Unassign are only available in the Manage space.

When a task is reassigned, a notification is sent to the assignee informing them of the new task assignment. 24.04This feature was introduced in the 24.04 release
