2. Type a short description of the to do item in the Subject field.

3. In the Assign to field, select Others.

4. Under Participants, specify one or more assignees. To select names from a directory for one of the participants fields, click the address book icon next to the field.

Required and Optional assignees receive a notice that includes response options such as Accept and Decline. FYI assignees receive a notice that does not include response options but includes the option to add the item to the to do list. Other assignees cannot see the names of FYI assignees.
