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:

  1. Find your assignment.
  2. Complete your task.
  3. Mark your assignment task as complete, re-open, or reassign your task.

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.
