# Delegating Tasks
It can be tough letting go of the reins, trusting that the project you worked so hard on is safe in somebody else's hands. Learning to delegate is an important skillset, especially if you are a manager.
With Daylite, you can delegate Tasks while still maintaining oversight on the entire project.
## Delegating Tasks With Daylite
When creating the Task, follow the steps below to delegate it to someone else:
* Name and add a description of the Task.
* Click **Delegate**.
* Click the pop-up button labelled **delegate to** **user** and then select a person.
* Select the checkbox labelled **Notify Changes**.
* Click **Delegate**.
Now, when an assigned Task is updated you will receive a notification in Daylite on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad with a push notification.

**Pro Tip:**
When delegating a Task, assign a due date on your Tasks so everyone knows what they need to do, and when the Task is due.

## Delegating Tasks With Mail Integration
Delegating action items from an email is critical to focusing on the biggest picture and getting control of your inbox. Daylite allows you to link an email to a Task, and delegate it straight from your inbox so you can move on to the next issue.
* Select the email you wish to delegate and tap **Add to Daylite**. It will turn to an orange with a small sun icon and say **In Daylite.**
* Tap the **New Task** button.
* In the New Task pop up tap d**elegate to user**, then choose the person you want to delegate this Task to.
* Select **Notify Changes**, and click **Delegate**.
## The Delegated Task List
The **Delegated** Task List contains all Tasks currently assigned to you delegated to others. These Tasks can be filtered, and marked as Done when the Task is completed.
* Select the **Delegated** Task List from the sidebar.
* Highlight the Task you wish to view. You can see the Task details on the right hand side.
You can filter Tasks by the Owner, Category, Keyword, Status of the Task, and it's Priority.
## Wrap Up
Delegating is undoubtably one of the hardest things you may ever do, especially if you feel invested in the Project. Daylite helps you delegate those special Projects to your team, and gives you the oversight to maintain control of your business.
