What are multiple assignees in a CRM?

A multiple assignees CRM lets several people share responsibility for one record instead of forcing you to pick a single owner. In CIPHER CRM, assignees appear as small profile photos on the record, and anyone assigned finds that record in their own Assigned to me filter. On a project, the assignees make up the project team.

In CIPHER CRM, any lead, customer, project, task, sales document or expense can have more than one assignee. You pick teammates from your staff and each one applies at once, with no save step. On screen, assignees show as overlapping avatar circles. When there are more than fit, a +N badge appears, and clicking it expands the full list. On projects, the assignees are the project team. Every assigned person can open a list and switch on the Assigned to me filter to see just the records that include them. When a lead converts to a customer, its assignees carry across, so the people who won the deal stay on the account. Assignments also appear in the record's chat and in the notification center, so new assignees know what landed on them. Teams at 192+ businesses across 31 industries share their work this way in CIPHER CRM.

The problem

What happens without team assignments

Your system makes you choose one owner, so the second person on the job is invisible.

Shared tasks end up duplicated, one copy per person, and the copies drift out of step.

Nobody can tell from the list who else is involved without opening every record.

When a deal closes, the people who worked it drop off and the customer account starts from scratch.

Team members miss work because it was put under a colleague's name when they were meant to help.

What slips without Assign several people
Capabilities

What you can do with team assignments

  • Several people on one record

    Add as many teammates as the work needs to a lead, customer, project, task, document or expense.

  • Faces on the row

    Overlapping avatar circles show who is on a record without opening it.

  • Click +N to see everyone

    When the avatars do not all fit, a +N badge expands into the full list with one click.

  • An Assigned to me filter

    Each person narrows a list to the records they are on, whoever else shares them.

  • Carried over on conversion

    Converting a lead to a customer brings its assignees along, so the account keeps the same people.

  • Told when they are added

    Assignments show up in the notification center with a link straight to the record.

Why CIPHER

Why team assignments are better in CIPHER

A single owner field works until two people share a job. We let the record show everyone who is on it.

  • One record, not copies

    Shared work stays on one record, so there is one set of details and one history instead of a copy per person.

  • Visible on the list

    Avatars on the row answer 'who is on this' before you open anything.

  • Works across six modules

    Leads, customers, projects, tasks, documents and expenses all take multiple assignees in the same way.

  • Instant changes

    Adding or removing an assignee applies the moment you click, with no save button.

How it works

How team assignments work in CIPHER CRM

  1. Open the record

    Go to the lead, customer, project, task, document or expense you want to share.

  2. Add assignees

    Pick one or more teammates in the assignee field. Each one applies as soon as you choose them.

  3. Check the row

    The avatars show on the list, with a +N badge when there are more than fit.

  4. Filter to your own work

    Each assignee switches on Assigned to me to see every record that includes them.

In action

Team assignments in action, by industry

Construction

A contractor assigns the estimator and the site supervisor to the same estimate, so both of them find it in their Assigned to me list.

Healthcare

A physiotherapy clinic puts the front desk lead and the treating therapist on a corporate customer, so either one can pick up when that client calls.

Logistics & Transportation

A freight company adds two coordinators to the team on a large shipping project, and both see it when they filter to their own work.

Nonprofit

A charity assigns the finance volunteer and the program lead to one expense for a community event, so both can find it when the accounts are checked.

Financial Services

An accounting firm puts a senior and a junior on each year-end task, and the junior starts every morning with the Assigned to me filter.

What is a multiple assignees CRM?

It is a CRM that lets more than one person be assigned to the same record. In CIPHER CRM you can put several teammates on a lead, customer, project, task, document or expense, see them as avatars on the row, and let each of them find the record through the Assigned to me filter.

Which records can have more than one assignee?

Leads, customers, projects, tasks, sales documents and expenses can all have multiple assignees in CIPHER CRM. On projects the assignees make up the project team. Every one of these lists also has an Assigned to me filter, so each person can see their share.

How do I see everyone assigned to a record?

Assignees show as overlapping avatar circles on the record and on its row in the list. When there are more people than fit, a +N badge appears. Click it and the full list of assignees expands, so you never have to open the record just to check who is involved.

Will a shared record show up for every assignee?

Yes. Each person assigned to a record finds it when they switch on the Assigned to me filter, no matter how many others share it. A task with three assignees appears in all three of their filtered lists, not only for whoever was added first.

What happens to assignees when a lead becomes a customer?

They come with it. When you convert a lead to a customer in CIPHER CRM, the assignees carry across along with its contacts, address and currency. The people who worked the deal stay on the account, so the customer does not start with an empty team.

Do people know when they have been assigned?

Yes. Assignments show in the in-app notification center with a link straight to the record, and they post as an update in that record's chat. New assignees see what has landed on them without anyone sending a separate message. 192+ businesses run CIPHER CRM across 31 industries, with a 4.8/5 average rating.
