How Do I Automatically Assign a Task to an Individual?

PROPERTIES > MY TASKS

Find the Task then click on the Yellow Pencil (edit) in the Functions column

Select a name from the Assigned To drop-down

In the Functions column, if you click the Green Flag and Claim the task, it will be assigned to you

*At this point in time, there is no way to automatically assign a task but this may be a feature in the future.
