You can also Assign a task from the Edit a Task page. By selecting More Options and clicking Assign this Task.

You'll be brought to the page below.  You'll need an Excel file with a header row and one column of user IDs.  You can use a report, such as the User Report, to generate a file to work with.  Click Select at the right of the screen and choose your Excel file.  Then select an Assignment Date and click Assign.

After assigning a Task, you'll see a results summary page with the number of users assigned and skipped. If a user is skipped, it will display here with a reason.

Assigning a Task to a single user

You can also assign tasks to a single user at a time.  To do this, navigate to the User Tasks page under the Administration menu.  Search for the user and click Edit in the Options column. (You can also reach a User's Tasks page from User Administration or DPA under the More Options menu.)

On this page, you'll find a list of all open and completed Tasks.  Click Add Task in the upper left corner.

A popup will appear.  Use the dropdown to select a Task and set an Assignment Date and click Add Task.
