Hey Lesley!

At the moment, Dentally’s task management system doesn’t support assigning a single task to multiple people. Each task can only be assigned to one person using the ‘Assignee’ field.

That said, there are a few ways you can manage tasks involving multiple team members:

• Separate tasks: You can create individual tasks for each person involved to make responsibilities clearer.

• Notes feature: Use the task’s ‘Notes’ section to tag or mention other team members who need to collaborate.

• Follow-up tasks: Create related follow-up tasks for other team members, linking them back to the original task.

These options can help keep everyone in the loop and manage workload efficiently.

I’ve added your feedback to a request we’ve already received about this. If you have more thoughts on how you’d like to see tasks work, feel free to share, I’ll make sure to pass them on!

Hey Saymon,

Thanks for the response, we have been using Asana to manage task that aren’t patient specific but wanted to try bringing them all into one place. The things I would like to see are

1. The ability to see updates on the tasks I have set team memners.
2. Have co-owners for tasks
3. Alerts for team member when a task is due or overdue
4. The task assigned to being compulsory - whether it is for the person setting the task or the team member it is assigned to, as we seem to have a lot of tasks with no ownership

At the moment I have set the team a tasks of cleaning up the feature of all the tasks that have been set and no-one has closed down:-( 

I hope this helps
