Hi, how do you set up assignments?

I can see assignments work for others, but can’t work out how to implement them ourselves. At present when I filter by assigned every topic shows up in the Unassigned column but also in any of the assignee’s columns. I’m assuming @mentioning someone assigns them, as I can’t find any other way to assign an owner to a topic.

P.S. Thank you so much for creating this @david and contributors. I’ve read through this thread, looked at the [repo readme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/kanban-board/118164/226) and tried the [Preview](https://theme-creator.discourse.org/theme/david/kanban) (which I couldn’t get to actually show a Kanban) - is there documentation somewhere that I’m missing?

It seems that the answer is you need to also use the [Assign Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-assign/58044)  
But…  
Is there a way to view a full Kanban filtered by who the topics are assigned to? For example my normal way of working would be in a Kanban view of everything assigned to me, showing only my #to-do #in-progress and #done items. Currently I’m able to see everything assigned to me, but I can’t differentiate between items I have done and items I still need to do.
