About Tasks

Tasks in each workspace allow teams to build a project plan, track progress on it, and link plan items to relevant documents. Users can see all their workspace assignments on their own network dashboard and profile when logged in and then drill into individual items, post updates, add links to relevant workspace pages.

Members of the workspace can review the project plan and progress at a glance, drill down for more detail, post an update, reassign tasks, or add tasks incrementally as the project progresses and gains more detail.

• Tasks

  Tasks are the individual assignments which need to be completed.  Tasks should be as specific as possible to make sure everything is completed correctly.  Tasks are only listed inside task lists, so every member knows what the task accomplishes in the general scope of the project.  Comments can be made on tasks, and when a task is clicked, the comments, history, and current information of the task is revealed.
