Currently we are designing a task management system that notifies users of current tasks they need to complete and about the status of tasks they have assigned. We are struggling with using "You" versus (for example) J. Smith on tasks.
In the following example, your name is J. Smith, and you need to check this system to find out what tasks you need to do, and to see if the tasks you have assigned are completed:
The next scenario is exactly the same, you need to check this system to find out what tasks you need to do, and to see if the tasks you have assigned are completed, however in this example, the table says "You" instead of J. Smith.
Which one is easier for the users to identify? We are currently leaning towards the "You" option, but we were wondering if there was any research on this topic?
