Tasks: frequently asked questions

Do I need someone's agreement for a task I give myself?

No. A task you create for yourself is agreed at once.

What is the difference between Negotiate and Decline?

Negotiate asks for different hours or a different deadline and keeps the task alive. Decline refuses it, and you must give a reason.

Who confirms a finished task?

Only the person who assigned it.

What happens if I do not answer a proposal?

It expires when the response window ends. The assigner can reassign it.

Can I change a task after I accept it?

Use Re-negotiate on the task to ask for new terms. Both sides must agree again.

Why does the Team tab not show for me?

Team needs the View org permission. See Who can do what in Tasks.

Can I assign a task to someone in another workspace?

Yes, if the two workspaces are connected as partners. See Assign a task to a partner workspace.

Does a private task hide the work from everyone?

Other people can see that you are busy, but not what the task is.

Where do I set working hours?

Tasks → gear → Working hours, for Super Admins. See Set working hours.
