Assignments

When you assign a record to other people, they have access to that record. If default assignees were set for the record at the record settings level, they are added automatically to the new record, and the record’s workflow state is changed to the first non-draft state.

  2. In the Information panel of the module, click people, and then expand the Assigned To section.

    • Company: The company of the assignee.
    • Record Type: The type of assigned item.
    • Status: The status of the assigned item.
    • Due Date: The due date of the assignment. If an assignment doesn't have a due date, the record due date, if available, is used.
  4. To open a record from the panel, click one of the following:
    • chevron_right (Open): Open the record in the current tab.
