The People field type allows you to be more flexible in terms of collaboration, notifications and tracking. You can add contributors, watchers or list owners to an item while the "Assignee" field remains for the item lead. Read this article to learn how to add the People field type and their benefits.
Benefits of people fields
- Keep an eye out on items even if you are not the item lead
- Collaborate with your colleagues
- Never miss a beat on items that concern you and require your attention
Adding people fields
- Go to the Fields tab in Workspace settings.
- Once you click on the + Add field button, a popover with all the available field types will appear, multiple times and presets.
- Select the People field.
- After naming your new field and adding an optional description, add it to your workspace.
- Your newly created field will appear in the list of all your custom fields on the left. Keep in mind that you can also change the order of the fields using drag and drop.
