By assigning entries to specific collaborators, you can distribute tasks effectively. Each collaborator knows their responsibilities, leading to better organization and productivity. Collaborators receive notifications when assigned to an entry. This ensures everyone stays informed about changes, updates, or new tasks.
To add assignees
- In Jotform Tables, add or insert a new column. See How to Add and Organize Columns for more information.
