how to assign a task to ONE person but let others see it

ilyse.kazar says:
This is what we need in our organization:

1. share a task list to a group of people (doable in RTM)

2. different folks are responsible to complete different tasks on the list

3. everyone to whom the overall _list_ has been shared can _see_ all the tasks so they know who's responsible for what and what the completion status of all tasks in the list is

4. responsibility for a task can be re-assigned to someone else

Is this possible? Contact A shared a whole list to Contact B but now it seems they share responsibility for all the tasks in the list. That is not what we need!

help? TIA!

as a follow up, then Contact B makes a new task in the shared list and cannot share it with anyone? or assign it to anyone?

how is this a collaboration tool?

It sounds like you want to publish your list(s) for everyone applicable, but only share individual tasks with the person responsible for them.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Andrewski. Your idea falls in the "sort of but not really close" category:

on a shared task that i create, to the other person they see the task with MY name on it.

Unless I'm missing something, there is no way to make the other person the sole responsible party for a task (and good practices dictate that one person has sole or at least primary responsibility for each task)

What we need to see if we publish a list is all the tasks on that list, with each task showing the name of the person to whom it is assigned, with the capability for anyone to assign anything that is unassigned, or to reassign.

Is this possible in RTM?

You can designate the assignee of a task by sending one to them. You may want to move sent tasks from your Sent list to the published list; you could then filter them by using the "to:" and/or "from:" search operators.
