Assign a task

Tasks can be assigned to anyone, whether they have a Mindjet Account already or not,  As an assignee, the user will also automatically become a follower of the task, so they'll still be informed of task actions even if they're no longer the assignee.

To assign a task:

1. In the Task window,  click the Assign button or place your cursor inside the Assigned To field to bring up a list of all the users in your Connections.  

2. Choose any user from this list.  Or, for someone who's not on the Connections list, enter an email address in the field at the top of the list and click Assign by Email.

You may also assign a task to "Nobody" if the task is affiliated with a task list.

Once you assign a task, it can be seen by the assignee, followers, and project members unless you change the visibility settings.  

Changing the assignee

It might be useful to change the assignee for tasks that require input from more than one person, such as someone to write a document, someone to add graphics, and someone to review it.  Other users who have access to the task (task list members, task followers, and the task assignee) can change who the task is assigned to.

To change an assignee:

1. In the Task window, click Assign or place your cursor inside the Assigned To field to open a list of all your Connections.  

2. You can choose any user from this list.  Or, for someone who's not on the Connections list, enter an email address in the field at the top of the list and click Assign by Email.

Hint: You can also drag a task to change the assignee:
 Drag it from one User panel to another
 Drag it from a Task List panel onto a Connection in the left menu
