Comment Details
Assignee
Assign a heurio to a specific project member so every comment has a clear owner. Set the assignee from the extension or the web app and the project automatically tracks accountability.
Quick answer: open the heurio, pick a teammate from the Assignee dropdown. The owner is now responsible for the fix.
Heurio lets users assign specific heurios to project members, ensuring clear ownership and accountability in the evaluation process. This guide explains how to set an assignee for a heurio and how the feature enhances the feedback workflow.

#Why it matters
Without an explicit assignee, even the clearest bug report can sit in limbo because no one feels responsible. An owner per heurio turns the project from "a list of issues" into "a list of actions". Pair it with Due Date for time-boxed accountability.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I assign a heurio to more than one person?
- Each heurio has a single owner so accountability is unambiguous. If multiple teammates are involved, set one assignee and @-mention the others in the comment thread.
- Does the assignee get notified?
- Yes. The assignee receives an in-app notification (and email, if enabled) when they are assigned and when there's new activity on the heurio.
- Can I filter the project by assignee?
- Yes. Use the project filters to view only heurios assigned to a specific teammate — useful for personal worklists or one-on-one reviews.
- What happens when I unassign a heurio?
- The heurio becomes unowned and goes back to the team's general worklist. It stays in the project, with its severity, comments, and history intact.
