Add Assignees to a Task

Overview

Every task in URBI Kore can have a primary assignee and additional collaborators. Assigning the right people ensures work gets done and the team stays in the loop.

Primary Assignee vs. Collaborators

• Primary Assignee: The single person responsible for completing the task. Their avatar appears on the task card.

• Collaborators (Followers): Team members who receive notifications about task updates but are not the primary owner.

Setting the Assignee During Creation

Option 1: Assignee Dropdown

In the creation modal, use the Assignee dropdown to search and select a team member.

Option 2: Smart Tags

Type a:name in the title field to quickly assign someone.

Option 3: @ Mention

Type @name in the title to add someone as a collaborator.

Changing the Assignee

Step 1: Open the Task

Click any task to open the detail drawer.

Step 2: Find the Assignee Section

In the sidebar, locate the Assignee field.

Step 3: Select a New Person

Adding Collaborators

In the task detail drawer sidebar, find the Collaborators section and click Add member. Search and select team members. Remove collaborators by clicking the delete icon next to their name.

Subtask Assignees

Each subtask can have its own assignee. Click the avatar dropdown next to any subtask to assign a specific person. This is perfect for tasks where multiple people handle different parts.

Private Tasks

When you toggle a task to Private, you are automatically set as the assignee and the task is only visible to you.

Tips

• Add collaborators when others need to stay informed

• Use subtask assignees to split work across team members
