Task Assignment Enhancements

Assign tasks using a new streamlined experience. Checklists are no longer assigned directly. You can assign all tasks within a checklist to students in this experience instead.

The enhanced and redesigned Task Assignments separates different experiences for Tasks, Checklists, and Assignments. From Student Central, click Search and search for Task Assignments to go to the task assignments landing page with a list of assigned tasks. Narrow down the assigned task list using different advanced search criteria like Status, Assignee, Due Date, and so on.

These are some of the key changes and enhancements that have been made to the Task Assignment wizard:

  • The task assignment landing page has been improved with advanced search enhancements.
  • While creating a new task assignment, select assignment purposes to associate it with an object, such as General.
  • You can assign multiple tasks at once. While doing that, narrow down the task list using the different Advanced Search criteria like Tags, Checklist Name, and so on.
  • Bulk assignment of tasks to multiple persons saves time over assigning each task individually.
  • Assign the selected tasks to multiple people within the organization. Narrow down the person list using different Advanced Search criteria like Date of Birth, Attributes, and so on.
  • Finally, use the Select Task Options to confirm if you want to notify assignees, send due date reminders, or enable tasks to be reassigned to another person.
  • You can view or edit the summaries of choices selected in each step of the task assignment wizard before triggering the assignment.
