Assigning Tasks
To assign a task, select the type and choose the person's name from the list. Individuals mentioned in your component will automatically become recipients of the event.
Setting Due Dates and Status
To insert a due date, type a slash and select 'date' from the list. Choose the due date for each task. In the status column, use tags to simplify tracking the project's progress. Type a slash again and select 'label' to choose from various options. Since the project hasn’t started yet, we will select 'not started'.
Finalizing the Event
Leave the comments section for the meeting discussion. Once everything is set up, send the invitation. You can view this component by accessing your calendar and selecting the event.
Collaborating During the Meeting
During the meeting, each team member can make changes to the Loop component, which will be visible to the entire team. This allows for dynamic collaboration and real-time updates.
