You can either delegate a task by choosing someone else to complete it and have it return to you, or pass it on, where the task stays with the person or team who finishes it and does not return.
- Default behavior
During task creation, tasks default to “Delegated” mode, which is indicated by a highlighted delegate icon, but you can switch to “Pass-on” mode before saving.
Tasks associated with saved assignments are sent in “Pass-on” mode to the next project/team or a user
Workflow/User assignment: if you’re a team member and choose to delegate a task to a project, you can select either a Workflow or a user; however, if you’re not part of the project, you can only delegate the task to the team/project’s Workflow.
Once a task is delegated, the Assignee field and task stage become non-editable. To revert changes, click the “Retract” button in the top right-hand corner of the task sidebar :
Task view :
Delegated tasks appear under both the “All Tasks” and “Delegated” filters in the team grid, while Passed-on tasks are listed only under the “All Tasks” filter.
