Complete your project assignments
Project participants can be assigned to work on a files within a file list, static, or selection driven content section, questions in an RFP, and the entire project. More than one participant can be assigned to each workflow task. Participants can be assigned to either "Read-only" or "Editable" mode tasks. "Editable" mode assignees have permission to answer and edit their slices or edit their file, and mark their workflow task as complete. "Read-only" mode assignees only have permission to approve or reject answers by marking their workflow task complete or reopening a previous participant’s workflow task.
There are three main tasks to completing your assignment:
- Find your assignment.
- Complete your task.
- Mark your assignment task as complete, re-open, or reassign your task.
Find your assignment
When you are assigned to a task in a project, you will receive an email notification from the project’s owner, which includes the assignment title and a link to the project. You will also see the project listed as a link under the Assigned to Me (Projects) Item on your Home page. Click either link to open the project. The Sections tab of the navigation displays when a you open an RFP project. To view your assignments, click the Assignments tab. If you are a project participant, you will see the all of your assignments listed under the My Tasks view. Click Project to view all assignments. Project owners will see the Project view of the assignment panel. Click My Tasks to switch to My Tasks view.

My Tasks displays by default for participants (non-project owners/managers) and reflects the progress of only your assignments. The bars display the percentage of assignments in each status as indicated by color. Hover over the colored status sections on the bars to display the number of assignments in that status.
My Tasks status bar colors:
- Yellow: In progress

In the example above, there are 4 total tasks, 1 is past due, 1 is in progress, and 2 are complete.

Note: Hover over any of the assignment task icons for status, participant, completion requirements, and read-only/editable mode details for that task.

You can also identify your assignments by the section status indicators, which display next to the section, subsection, and files that you own or to which you are assigned a task. Project owners see all indicators. The status indicators signify the following:
For participants: It is your turn in an assignment. For project owners: The section is not complete.
For participants and project owners: The section is complete.
For participants and project owners: The section is past due. This also displays on Data Entry sections if any required fields are blank.
Note: When a user misses an assignment deadline, Upland Qvidian can send a copy of the late notification email to their manager automatically. To send an automatic manager escalations for late assignments email, enable the “Include user's manager on late assignment notification” setting found on the Permissions tab of the Users page in addition to the "Your Project Task In Workflow Has Expired" and "Your Review Job Task In Workflow Has Expired" Email Notification Triggers. Ensure that the Manager Name and Manager Email fields in the desired user profile have been completed; if these fields remain blank no email will be sent.
Switch between the Full and Simplified Doc Structure views any time using the Section Display Mode toggle. The Full Doc Structure view displays all Project sections and subsections. The Simplified Doc Structure view displays only the subsections you own or can change.
An example of Full Doc Structure (left) and Simplified Doc Structure (right). Click to enlarge.
- Open the Sections tab of your Project.
- Select a display mode using the toggle:
- Full: Display all sections, subsections, and content are visible, including those you cannot change.
- Simplified: Displays only the subsections you own or can change. For selection-driven content sections, only the first occurrence of relevant selections is visible, and any automatically driven selections are hidden. Relevant optional sections are visible but unchecked by default. The Overview, section headings, and static content are all hidden.
Note: By default, everyone initially sees the Full Doc Structure view, unless the “Show Simplified Doc Structure in Projects on First Use” system permission has been enabled. When enabled, the first time a user opens a Project, their view will default to Simplified Mode. After opening a Project, the user can change their view and the system will remember their preferences the next time they create or open a Project.
Note: Upland Qvidian will remember the doc structure view you selected last, so your preferred doc structure view will remain active across projects and between log-ins.
Caution: In some instances, the same Selection Driven Content Section can have different names in the Full and Simplified Doc Structure views. This occurs because you can have multiple subsections that use the same component. The subsection name is populated by the "Name" Document Type field, and the component name is populated by the "Display Title" Document Type field. For example, if a component is titled, “Business Issues,” but the subsections are titled for each distinct location in the document, such as “Business Issues Intro,” “Business Issues Body,” and/or “Business Issues Summary.”

Mark your assignment task as complete or re-open your task
If you answered or edited an RFP question as part of a "Editable" mode assignment task, you must mark your assignment task as complete to let the other participants know you have finished your work. You can re-open a previously closed task as long as the entire workflow is not complete. If you are assigned to a "Read-only" mode assignment task, you must verify the answer's accuracy and then either approve the answer or reject it. Reviewers can also add assignment level comments if they want to approve a task, but still provide feedback.

Note: If marked "All Complete", the workflow task requires all assigned participants to complete the task before the workflow can move forward. If marked "Any Complete", the workflow task only requires one of the assigned participants to complete the task before the workflow can move forward.
