Assigned tasks
Who is working on which product, and by when — without leaving the catalog.
Video transcript
In this video, you'll split up the catalog with tasks and due dates.
A task says a product belongs to someone: a person and, if you want, a note and a due date.
You select the products and assign them in one go; whoever gets them sees it in their bell.
On the other side, “My tasks” leaves only their products, sorted by due date.
“Done” closes the task and the counter drops right away; closed tasks are kept.
In the record, the top line says whose it is, and lets you hand it to someone else or remove it.
That wraps up the “Teamwork” series. Next up: “Suppliers”.
What it is
A task says a product belongs to someone. That is all: a person, an optional note and an optional date. It exists so you can split a large catalog without tracking it somewhere else.
- A product has at most one open task at a time.
- The note is free text of up to 500 characters and is only visible inside Bruxel: it never appears in exports, feeds or your store.
- Closed tasks are kept: they record who did what.
How to assign
In the catalog, select the products and use «Assign». You can set a due date and one note for all of them at once. If you are the only person in the organization, the button reads «Assign to me».
On a product page, the top line says whose it is and lets you assign it, hand it to someone else or remove it. Assigning requires the editor role or above, and work can't be assigned to a viewer, who couldn't close it. Whoever receives the task sees it in their bell, unless they assigned it to themselves.
Where I see mine
In the catalog, the «My queue» chip keeps only your products and sorts them by due date, overdue first. The header says how many are left and how many are overdue, and the home page repeats it with a direct link. If your organization has more people, you can also look at someone else's queue.
Finishing and removing
«Done» closes the task: the product leaves the queue and the counter drops immediately. It is closed by whoever owns it or by an administrator. Removing is different: it deletes the pending item without recording that the work happened, and that can be done by whoever created it, whoever owns it, or an administrator.
