Assign a Task - Microsoft Outlook
It was actually fairly easy to assign a task to another person. It's like sending an appointment - once the recipiant has acknowledged the task it is automatically added to their Outlook tasks. When they update the status of the task, this information was available to the sender of the task.
Unfortunately, since the tasks app has been updated to #To Do, it seems I can no plonger assign tasks.
I'd appreciate any support on this. Thanks.
Correct! Sadly...I'm pretty frustrated that Outlook Tasks has been replaced by To Do. I'm forcing myself to use it, but it has way less functionality than Outlook Tasks.
In terms of assigning a Task, you can do that in To Do, but you need to create a Shared List first, which is a bit frustrating.
Thanks so much for this response GeoffLCS. I was afraid I'd get this answer...
Actually I loved using the ToDo App, when it was a separate App that combined Outlook tasks, Planner tasks and additional tasks both at the desk or on my mobile.
In fact, I was pretty sure that I'd been able to assign tasks from the ToSo app as well, but may have mixed this up.
Thanks for your tipp to create a shared list - at least there's a "Workaround".
Is there anything we can do to get Microsoft to re-add the "assign task" feature?Is there anything we can do to get Microsoft to re-add the "assign task" feature?
