  • Not private — this button is intended for assigning the private status to the task. Private tasks cannot be viewed by any employees except the assigned ones. If a task is not private then it will be available to the members of your or the superior departments that have the "View tasks of employees of subordinate departments" permission. If the private status is enabled the button have the following appearance: Private.
