I can't find my action items. Where did they go?
Double check if you have set a Filter on your action item lists. Click Filter at the top right of any action item list and make sure every box is checked. Then click Apply. This should restore the full list of action items. If you still can't find the action item you're looking for, try Search at the top right.
How do I assign actions items to someone?
To assign an action item, open the action item and click on the image or name of the owner to search and select the new assignee. You can search for new users by their name. You can also change the action item assignees from any list view, by clicking your name (or whoever it was last assigned to) in the list view row, and selecting the new assignee.
If you are trying to assign an action item on a team that you don't manage or co-manage, it needs to be your action item or one that you’ve delegated to someone else.
If you assign the action to another person, but still need to see notifications when its status or attributes are changed, make sure that you are added to the loop of the action item.
Team members and managers can assign and re-assign the same action item to each other. This is helpful to route work around and collaborate on completing a single deliverable.
How do I share action items with someone who is on Workboard but is not a member of my team?
By putting a coworker in the loop you can give visibility to an action item to someone who is not a member the direct team but on another Workboard team.
To add someone to the loop on an action item, start typing their name under In the Loop on the action item details popup.
Optionally, you can also share a workstream on a team with someone not on that team.
How do I add notes or sub-actions to an action item?

Can I link two action items together?
Yes — the best way is to create subtasks, instead of separate action items. Click on the Subtask tab on the action item details popup, and create as many subtasks as needed. Click on each one to assign it to someone other than the owner of the parent action item, give it a separate due date, or change its priority, rating or status.
How can I add more than one member of my team to an action item?

To add someone to the loop on an action item, start typing their name under People In the Loop on the action item details page.
How do I find all of the items I'm in the loop on?
Click My Work on the top menu, then select In The Loop from the left navigation pane.
What is the difference between the priority level and the confidence rating?
The priority level indicates how important it is that an action item gets done. Workboard sorts many lists by priority level to make sure that you're always getting the most important things done first. Confidence rating indicates the health of the task. A green confidence rating indicates that everything is going well, whereas amber and red confidence ratings indicate that there is trouble.
How can I bring back a previous version of an Action Item's notes?
The Notes Version History displays all changes made to the notes section of the Action Item. At any time, you can restore a previous version of your Action Item's notes by selecting the previous entry from the history, then Restore this version from the Action Item notes panel.
