To stay on top of your deadlines, you'll want to see what your teammates are working on.
In Todoist, search for tasks that are assigned to others by typing assigned to: and the person’s name. For example, assigned to: John Smith. Keep in mind that the name should match what the person uses in Todoist.
If you're on the Todoist Pro or Business plans, you can create more than three filters. Save these search queries as filters for easy access later.
Here are some other handy search queries to use to find tasks assigned to others:
| Query | What it does |
|---|---|
| Assigned to: John Smith | Shows all tasks assigned to any collaborator with the name “John Smith” |
| Assigned to: Mary * | Shows all tasks assigned to any collaborator whose first name is “Mary” |
