# Create a case task

Create case tasks to work on the various tasks such as investigations, assessments, inquiries, gathering evidence, and so on required to analyze and work on the case that has been reported. Each case can have multiple case tasks that can be assigned to different owners from various teams.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_privacy\_case.privacy\_case\_analyst

## About this task

After a case is reported to the privacy teams, a privacy case analyst can create case tasks and assign those tasks to the relevant owners to work on and provide the required inputs and responses.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Privacy Management** > **Privacy Workspace** > **Lists** > **Cases** > **All cases**.

2.  Open the case for which you want to create a case task.

3.  Select the Case task related list.

4.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    See the [privacy new case task form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/privacy-workspace/prm-case-task-form.md) for an explanation of each field.

5.  Select **Save**.

6.  To assign the task to the case task owner, select **Assign task**.

7.  In the confirmation dialog box, provide your notes.

8.  Select **Move to assigned**.

    The state of the record changes to **Assigned** and is assigned to a case task owner.

9.  To reassign the case task to another user before the case task is accepted by the case task owner specified by you, select **Reassign**.

    You can only reassign case tasks that are of type **Assessment**.

    1.  In the Assignment group field, select the relevant group.

    2.  In the **Case task owner** field, select a new owner.

    3.  Select **Reassign**.
