Assign duties and tasks ​

Assign a production duty to a member, then check the chapter tasks created for that duty. Recording also requires assigning story characters to performers.

A member can have several duties. Project ownership and permission roles are separate from these production assignments.

Automatic assignment ​

When a non-recording duty is assigned during invitation or project setup, unassigned tasks for that duty can be assigned automatically. Existing assignees are not replaced just because another person receives the duty.

For Recording, assigning the duty alone is not enough. Assign a character to the performer in Characters; the performer then receives tasks for that character's lines across the relevant chapters.

Assign or adjust manually ​

An authorized director or administrator can use Tasks and member task settings to choose the member, chapter range, and duty. Confirm the assignments and check the resulting list.

Coordinate before reassigning work already started. Completed tasks need to be reopened through workflow management before corrections are made.

Task status ​

StatusMeaningWhat to do
WaitingA preceding stage is unfinishedWait for the prerequisite; the task cannot be marked complete
In progressThe task is availableDo the work, then mark it complete
CompletedThe work has been submittedAsk the director or authorized workflow manager to reopen it if needed

Use Mark Complete or the completion action shown for an active task, then confirm. Completion of your task and movement of the chapter are different events, especially when several performers share Recording.

Task status

Remove a member or duty ​

Removing a member cancels unfinished tasks and releases relevant character-to-performer assignments. Completed records remain attributed to the member.

Releasing a duty can be blocked when completed records must retain accountability. If allowed, its unfinished tasks are canceled. Check what is unassigned afterward.
