How do I assign a task and update its status?

Last reviewed 11 October 2026 · Part of Task management

Open a saved task to see the full edit form with header information and multiple tabs.

Header Bar

When viewing a saved task, the header shows:

• Task subject (title)
• Priority badge (color-coded chip)
• Due date
• Assignee names (up to 3 shown, count for more)
• Subtask progress (e.g., "3/7 subtasks")
• Recurring badge (if applicable)

Below the header:

• Context strip — "Created N days ago · Due in N days · Last updated N days ago"
• Overdue banner (red) — Appears when the task is past due: "OVERDUE — This task was due N day(s) ago"

Assignment & Status Tab

The ASSIGNMENT & STATUS tab combines assignment management and status tracking in one view.

Progress Strip (shown for tasks with 2+ assignees): Displays completion progress with a breakdown — e.g., "3 of 5 completed (60%) — 3 completed · 1 in progress · 1 pending"

Your Assignment Card (if you are assigned): Shows your current status with an Update My Status button.

All Assignees List: Shows every assignee with their status badge, last updated date, and a Reassign link (if enabled).

Updating Your Status

1. On the Assignment & Status tab, click Update My Status
2. In the popup, choose a status:

3. Optionally add Notes
4. Click Update

Auto-Complete Behavior

When the last active assignee marks their assignment as Completed, the task itself is automatically marked as complete.
