Single task to be done by multiple users
Can I suggest you create one task, and use the checklist to assign a tick box for each person?
At a glance you can then see who has put a tick in their box and who has yet to do so. Relies on honesty that you will only check/tick your own box though.
There's also a suggestion that seems similar in UserVoice for Planner, so go and Vote for it: https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/18848320-allow-complete-task-per-assigned-person
"assuming your then looking for a way to have one task with a way for each person to update and mark their piece complete?"
Yes, that's what I need. I need a way to assign a single task to multiple users and each of them should mark their piece.
Anwesh Gangula I do this all the time. I create the task and then assign all the users. Then-in the checklist portion of the card, I add the names of the people that are assigned and they mark ONLY their name off when they have completed their portion. Only the owner of the task can mark the actual task complete. It requires some training and monitoring, but it has been working successfully for me for a few months now. I attached a screen shot for reference.
Only the owner of the task can mark the actual task complete.
How does the owner of the task do this?
What if you have a dozen people to assign the task to?
triciamcquarrie Not a practical solution for 120+ Store Managers but good to know.
Thank you! I will give that a try!
