Overview
Task Assignments allow you to add clear ownership and due date tracking to everyday warehouse activities. Through the Skustack Admin Portal, users with a Client Admin role can distribute work tasks to specific employees and define target completion dates based on operational requirements and priorities. Assigned activities appear in the Skustack app as a personal task list for the designated employee, where they can review, filter, and open pending work from a single screen rather than navigating through individual workflows.
Task Assignments are supported for:
Only Client Admin users can create, modify, or remove Task Assignments.
Manage Task Assignments
The Manage Task Assignment page consolidates supported warehouse activities into a single view for assignment management, workload distribution, and status tracking. To access the page, navigate to Settings > Manage Task Assignment.
Assigned and unassigned activities are displayed regardless of their status.
Search Task Assignments
To narrow the list and focus on specific activities, use the Filters at the top of the Manage Task Assignment page:
Task Type - Limit results to a specific activity type, such as Purchase Orders, Picklists, Work Orders, or shipment tasks.
Assigned User ID - View activities assigned to a particular employee.
Status - Filter activities by their current task status.
Creation Date - Show activities created within a specific date range.
Due Date - Locate activities based on their target completion date.
Unassigned Only - Display activities that are not currently assigned to an employee.
Past Due - Display activities with a due date that has already passed.
Filters can be combined to create targeted views based on assignment ownership, status, deadlines, and activity type. Frequently used filter combinations can be saved with Save View for quick access in the future.
Create Task Assignments
Assignments can be managed individually from the activity itself or in bulk from the Manage Task Assignment page. You can use individual assignments when working with a specific PO, picklist, work order, or fulfillment shipment, and bulk updates when distributing or updating workload across a team.
Work Orders are only eligible for assignment when their Expected Completion Date is in the future. Work Orders with past expected completion dates cannot be assigned.
When assigning Purchase Orders, FBA Shipments, AWD Inbound Shipments, and WFS Shipments, the selected employee must have access to the company associated with the activity.
Individual Assignment
Each supported activity includes an Assignment panel where you can designate a responsible employee and optionally set a target completion date. To create or update an individual assignment:
Open the required activity.
In the Assignment panel, click Edit.
In the Assigned To field, select the employee responsible for the activity from the list of available users.
Optionally, use the Due Date field to define a target completion date.
Click the checkmark icon to save the assignment. The update is reflected in both the Admin Portal and the Skustack app.
To remove an assigned employee, click the X icon next to their email address in the Assigned To field.
Bulk Assignments
The Manage Task Assignment page allows you to create or update assignments for multiple activities simultaneously. This option is useful when distributing newly created work, reassigning activities between employees, or updating due dates for several tasks at once.
Navigate to Settings > Manage Task Assignment.
Select the checkboxes of the activities you want to update.
Click the Actions menu and select Assign Task.
In the User field, find and select the employee who will be responsible for the tasks.
Optionally, use the Due Date field to define a target completion date.
Click Assign to apply the changes.
The selected activities are updated in both the Admin Portal and the Skustack app.
