Tip:

You can track the total time spent on a task by ensuring all task members include the hours spent on each update. All hours are automatically added up, and the total will appear at the top of the task window.

Name	Description
Post Update	Use the field at the bottom of the task window to ask a question or post an update. Messages will be seen by all members of the task, including the task creator.
Status	Change the status of your task using the menu at the bottom of the task window.
Hours Spent	Track your time on a task by including the hours spent.

Note:

You can choose from the options below when selecting a status from the menu. A color-coded tag will appear on the main Task dashboard indicating the status:

Not Started: The member has yet to begin any work on the task.
In Progress: The task has been started or is being worked on.
Partial Approval: Indicates that a portion of the task has been approved.
Approved: The task has been fully approved.
Task Completed: Moves the task from active to complete
Denied: Indicates that the task has been blocked.

# Confirm

Once you have entered your question or update in the field, changed the task status, and applied the hours spent, click Submit.

Note:

You can ask questions or post updates without changing the status or adding hours spent. Each item can be modified individually.
