Create a Task for another User

Creating a task for someone else works much the same way as creating a personal task, except the target user should be changed to the name of the user the task is being created for.

• The completed task will show on both the creator’s and receiver’s Tasks lists.
• Supervisors may require a response from the User.
  • When a response is entered it will display in the task in the Task List.
  • Users must respond to a task with a required response before they can delete it from the Task List.

• Responses to the task are independent for each User.
  • Allow both the creator and receiver to enter responses.
• Reminders are also independent for each User.
  • User who received the task may set a reminder to do the task.
  • User who sent the task may set a reminder to check up on the task.
