When creating your new rule, give it a Name and Description. Once you have supplied both, click Save and continue.

Triggers

The Triggers tab will be displayed:

In the Triggers tab, select Task from the first drop-down menu:

And then select whether you want All or Any of the following conditions to be met, in order to trigger the rule:

The conditions that are available for Task, are Status and List. Select either List or Status, and then enter what they must be changed to, in order to trigger the rule.

You can add as many conditions as you like to your rule, and choose whether all or some of them must be met.

Once you have chosen your triggers, click Save and continue.

Actions

The Actions tab will now be displayed:

In the Choose action menu, select Update task:

Type the name of a user or user group in the Assignee field.

Select the user name or user group and click Save. Your new rule will be added to your workflow.
