re-assign tasks from job role to user

Simone Darphorn

What is the easiest way to quickly assign all tasks of a specific job role within a project to a specific user.

example: Task A, Task B and Task E of "Project 1" are assigned to the job role "project leader". Bert will become the project leader so the assignment of all relevant "project leader tasks" should be assigned to Bert

Since one project can have over 30 tasks for a job role, it would be convenient if this does not have to be executed one by one manually...

Hi @Simone Darphorn! 

I would do the following in your case:

• In Table view, go into the project containing the tasks that are assigned to a given job role 
• Set a filter for Task > Assignee = job role 
• Click the top-left-hand corner box near the headers of the table to select all (you can deselect the project as it technically doesn't call into the job role assignment filter OR you can click the first box, hold Shift, click the last box of tasks you want to reassign to select all 
• Click the assignment button along the top > Reassign = choose the user you want

Once you reassign, your Table view of the project will probably turn blank with no tasks - just make sure to remove the job role assignment filter to get back the entire view of your tasks  

 

There are other ways to mass-reassign, including in other views like List view, but Wrike folks have been mentioning that the List view will be phased out eventually - might as well get the hang of Table view in this case  

Hope this helps - happy holidays!
