Add Anomaly Assignees
Step-by-step tutorial for adding one or more users to the Assignees list of a single anomaly. To take a user off an anomaly, see Remove Anomaly Assignees. To apply the same set of assignees to many anomalies at once, see Bulk-Assign Anomalies. For how the field behaves in detail, see Deep Dive · Anomaly Assignees. For programmatic access, see the Anomalies API.
You can add assignees from two places, and the flow is identical because both views use the same user picker. Pick the tab that matches where you start from.
Step 1: Open the anomaly from the per-datastore Anomalies tab. In the Summary section, locate the Assignees field.
Step 2: Click the Edit button next to the Assignees label to open the user picker. When no users are assigned yet, the same button shows a + icon instead.
Step 3: The user picker opens, listing every user with at least the Viewer role on the anomaly's datastore. Use the Search users input to narrow the list.
Step 4: Select one or more users from the list to assign them to the anomaly.
Step 5: The selected users appear at the top of the list with a check icon, confirming they are now assigned.
Step 6: Click anywhere outside the picker to close it. The Assignees field updates with the new avatar (or avatars), and the change is recorded in the History section.
Step 1: Open the anomaly from Explore > Anomalies. In the right-side details panel, locate the Assignees field.
Step 2: Click the Edit button next to the Assignees label to open the user picker. When no users are assigned yet, the same button shows a + icon instead.
Step 3: The user picker opens, listing every user with at least the Viewer role on the anomaly's datastore. Use the Search users input to narrow the list.
Step 4: Select one or more users from the list to assign them to the anomaly.
Step 5: The selected users appear at the top of the list with a check icon, confirming they are now assigned.
Step 6: Click anywhere outside the picker to close it. The Assignees field updates with the new avatar (or avatars), and the change is recorded in the History section.
Info
Adding or removing assignees on an anomaly requires the Author team permission (or higher) on the anomaly's datastore. Archived anomalies cannot have their assignees changed; restore the anomaly first.
Each newly added assignee (except yourself) is notified about the change as part of the same update event. See Deep Dive · Anomaly Assignees · Notifications.
