Assigning conflicts

On a workspace with more than one person, an unassigned conflict is everyone's job — which usually means it's nobody's. Assigning a finding gives it a name.

Assigning a finding

Open any finding and pick a teammate from the dropdown beside the triage buttons. The change saves immediately — there's no separate save step. Choose Unassigned to clear it.

Any member can assign, including to themselves. This is day-to-day triage, not account administration, so it isn't restricted to the workspace owner. You can only assign to people who are already in your workspace; invite them under Settings → Team first.

What the assignee gets

  • An email, right away, with the conflict, its score, and — if the application is published — how long is left to oppose it. Assigning something to yourself sends nothing.
  • A queue on their dashboard, above the shared workspace feed, showing every open conflict with their name on it.
  • Deadline reminders for that conflict, even if they've turned the digest off. Owning the work means hearing about its clock.

Assignment and triage are different things

Assigning says who is handling a conflict. Triage says what was decided about it. A finding can be assigned and still untriaged, or escalated and unassigned. Closing a finding leaves the assignment on the record rather than clearing it, so the history stays readable.

The record

Every assignment and every clearing is written to the finding's activity log with a name and a timestamp, alongside triage actions and notes. Assignment badges also appear in finding lists, so you can see ownership without opening each one.

When someone leaves

Removing a teammate from the workspace un-assigns their conflicts rather than deleting anything. Those findings return to the shared queue for reassignment — work is never lost with the person.

Tip: assignments show up in the client report under matters being acted on, so a client can see who is handling what.
