Discussion

You can send information about the status of a task to others. When you send a status report, a message is sent summarizing the work progress of the task. The summary details include the task name, priority, date due, its current status, the percentage of work completed, the total and actual work, and the name of the task owner.

When a task is assigned to another owner, the person assigning the task is added to an update list if they selected the option to keep an updated copy of the task in their task list. Each person reassigning the task is then added to the list. When the task owner sends a status report, it is sent to everyone on the update list.
