Assignments view [in-depth guide] – Workamajig

Guide contents: Default views | Updating assignments | Search options | Resources

This traffic report screen focuses on the assignments themselves. While you have the ability to customize & group by task & project, the data that is retrieved is done so at the user & service level of the task assignments.

Default views

All assignments

Used to see all assignments for all active projects.
A good starting place if you are going to make a custom listing.

Current worklist

Only the current task(s) within a schedule (based on predecessors) that have not been completed will be displayed.
This is good if you want to focus on the current task assignment yet to compete for all current active projects.

Due but not done

All tasks assignments that are not complete & due as of or before today.
This listing by default, filters to show you all assignments still open on projects & tasks that are past due. So if the project is in an active status and the task is not 100% done, then any assignment on that task will show in the list. From experience you want this report to be no longer than a page or two.

Make your own custom view...

While we have several pre-built listings out of the box. You can freely customize these listings, or create your own by way of the 'modify' and 'memorize' buttons.

Updating assignments

From the Assignments view, there will be a checkbox along the left side of each row. Checking the box will allow you to update the selected tasks in the following ways:
