Default Assignments

  1. Using the Wedding Template:

    • When you create your checklist using the wedding template, tasks will automatically be assigned to the party the system thinks they should be assigned to.

    • Customizing Assignments:

      • You can always remove or adjust these automatic assignments to better fit your specific needs.

  2. Using Previous Checklists:

    • If you use a previous checklist to create a new one, note that assignments do not carry over to the new timeline. This feature is in our queue to implement in future updates.

Creating Tailored Checklist PDFs

  1. Review Assignments:

    • Before generating your checklist PDF, review and ensure all tasks are assigned correctly.

  2. Generate Tailored PDF:

    • To preview a collaborator's tailored checklist, simply click on that person's name in the panel to the righthand side.

      • This will be collapsed in the mobile view

    • The PDF will reflect only assigned tasks, making it easy for each party to see their responsibilities.

Benefits of Assigning Checklist Tasks

  • Improved Collaboration: Clear assignments ensure that everyone knows their responsibilities and deadlines.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Tailored PDFs help each party focus on their specific tasks, reducing confusion and increasing productivity.
