Task participants are entered on the task's Assignment tab. You are added as a participant automatically (you can remove yourself using the Remove button if you want). To add additional participants from your address book select the Contacts button. The Select Contacts from Address Book dialog box opens.

Add Contacts

Select contacts and then select Required Participants to add them to the task participant list. After you have finished adding participants, click OK.

Note

When you send task invitations, invitees have the option of accepting or declining the task. Email responses from the invitees appear in your Inbox when the various invitees respond.
