Assigning Tactics to Organizations

Administrators can assign the added Tactics to Organizations, allowing for collaboration with department, office, or other unit leads at the institution. Once they are assigned, leads will be able to update the status of an assigned tactic as well as provide updates on their progress. To do so, they can open an existing tactic and edit it or assign it at the point a new tactic is created. The Lead of the aligned organization will receive an email when the Tactic is assigned to an organization. A Tactic can only be assigned to a single organization at a given time.

NOTE: A Tactic can only be assigned to an organization to which the plan has been published.
