Assignment List
This list specifies who will be responsible for completing a task.
A task can be owned by multiple people. A task can be assigned to one specific person
from a pool of people based on round robin or minimum queue length. 

• Submitter - Assign the task to person who submitted the form
• Supervisor of Submitter - Assign the task to the supervisor. The supervisor is mentioned in user information in Accounts.
• 2nd Level Supervisor of Submitter - Assign to Second supervisor of submitter
• Assign to User - Assign to specific user. This is not recommended
• Assign to Role - Assign task to members of specific role . This option can be used along with Task Distribution strategy to assign task to one of the members.
• Supervisor of Parent task Completer - This will be used when a child task is created, when a task is created or completed. This is useful when a higher level of approvals are needed. Such as an expense above 10,000 needs to be approved by two level of managers.
• Field of Type User - If fields of type User are present in a stream's data components, a task can be assigned to the user identified by that field. For example, when an Inspection request is created, the requester selects a specific person to do the inspection. 

This option is also useful when assigning tasks to representatives of specific location, account or office. For example, A smart object will hold the list of locations or offices. The smart object will have a user field such as location manager. When an incident is created for a specific location, the investigation task can be assigned to the manager of that location.

• Field of Type Email Address - A task can be assigned to an email address. The email address owner will receive an email for task completion along with a link that does not require authentication. 

Task Distribution
When task is assigned to more than one person, then task distribution strategy can be used. 

• All - In this strategy, all possible owners of the task will see the task. They will see it as 'Unclaimed'. Anyone will be able to take the task by claiming it or completing it.
• Round Robin - The task will be assigned based on round robin fashion from the pool of available potential owners.
• Minimum Queue Length - The task will be assigned to the possible owner will minimum number of open tasks.

Send Task Assignment Notification Email
By default potential owners of a task are always notified using the 'Task Assignment
Notification Template'​. If users will be notified using a custom template, or if they
need not be modified at all, this option can be unchecked.

 

This option is useful when you do not notify users at all, or you want to notify users using a customized email, template, at a common email address or with a text message. In that case, use the Task Events tab and trap the Task Creation event to send the customized message.
