Tasks that you do not finish yourself you can assign to other persons.

  • The task must be assignable.
  • A task assignee can be any person with an email address.


Example  

  • The task assignee is an internal person without own user account, or a user without responsibility: You want to ask an employee from the marketing department to send advertising material to the onboardee.
  • The task assignee is an external person: You would like to instruct your favourite florist to deliver a bouquet of flowers punctually on the first working day of the Onboardee.
