Inviting Group Members
Before you can delegate tasks to group members, you need to ensure that they have joined the group. In TepinTasks, navigate to the account and group settings, which is at the top of each screen and can be accessed by clicking the "gear" icon on the right hand side. Once in the Group settings, click into a Group and you can see a list of members who have successfully joined the group. If there are any pending invitations, you can track their status as well.
Delegating Tasks
Once the group members have joined, you can easily delegate tasks to them. From the My Today page click on a task to open it up and select the "+" button on the left to Delegate. This will open the Delegation tray where each Group along with its active members will be displayed so you can easily select the Group member you want to delegate the task to.
Tracking Delegated Tasks
After delegating a task, it will be removed from your "My Tasks" list and will appear in the "Delegated" tab. Here, you can see the status of each delegated task, indicating whether it has been accepted or not. If a task has not been accepted, it will be added back to your "My Tasks" list and you will be notified in the application's notification area.
Notification and Acceptance
When you delegate a task to a group member, they will receive a notification in the notification area of their application. They will also receive an email requesting their acceptance or rejection of the task. Once they make a decision, you will be notified accordingly and the status of the task will be updated in the "Delegated" tab.
Subtasks and Delegation
If the task you delegate has subtasks, they will also be included in the delegation. This means that when a group member accepts a delegated task, they will also be responsible for its subtasks. You can track the progress of these tasks in the "Delegated" tab, where you will receive notifications when they are started or completed.
