Creating a new assignment

Users defined as Project Managers and Administrators can create assignments. Stay on top of your workload by creating assignments and tracking their status.

An assignment is associated with a specific project. It is important to note that before you can create an assignment, you must first create the project. Additionally, to assign an assignment to a team member, you must share the project with the team member before assigning it. See Creating a new project and Working with shared projects for more information.

Users that you assign assignments to can view assignment details and provide comments to keep you updated of their progress. You cannot assign assignments to external reviewers.

To create a new assignment, click Create New Assignment on the Assignments tab.

The Create Assignments window opens. Complete the fields as follows:

Project	Use this drop-down list to select the folder and project.
Status	Use this drop-down list to select the status of the assignment.
