Completely new to the application…
Can’t find this addressed anywhere. If I assign a task to multiple people on my team like “read chapter 7” and then I have a checkmark signifying “done”, how do I know each of the team members completed. The first person to check done has altered the record.
Do I have to send the task out to each person in a separate record so they can each check done? If so, what is the use of the ability to have multiple assignees for a task?
I’m sure I’m missing something.
Thanks

Hi @Bradley_Kramer - yes, given that you want every individual to check off that they have done the task, you really need to have these task assignments as individual records. The multiple assignees per task is, I guess, for those situations where this sort of individual feedback does not apply.
FWIW, I would approach this base design in a couple of possible ways:
Either of the above designs would also allow you to do summaries and roll-ups, e.g. total tasks assigned and total completed, which would be more difficult in a single task/multi-assignee scenario.
