A delegated task is a normal task that landed on you because someone broke off a piece of their work and handed it to you. You'll see it in My Tasks like anything else - you don't need to do anything special.
What's different about it
- The person who delegated it stays its manager - so when you finish, they review your output (not your usual manager).
- Your output flows back to their task: it shows up under their task's sub-tasks and posts into that task's chat, and they can pull it straight into their own answer.
- Their task may be waiting for yours. If they handed their task over when they delegated, it waits for yours and closes by itself once yours is done.
In other words: you do your slice, hand it back, and it rolls up into the bigger task automatically.
Just do your part
- Open the task and press Start.
- Do the work and write it up on the Output tab (attach photos/files if useful).
- Press Finish.
That's it - the delegator takes it from there. If they need something different, they'll request changes and it'll come back to you with a note.
Stuck on it? Do not leave it waiting in silence: see What a task is, and what to do when you are stuck. If the brief is unclear, Hand back returns it to the delegator.
