Understanding File Tasks

This article helps you understand different tasks that can be assigned on your files in Asite.

Updated this week

Users on Asite with required privileges can distribute files to project team members for specific tasks to be completed within the due date assigned for the task.

While distributing files to project team members, you can select a task with a due date.

You may assign different types of tasks here which include 'For Acknowledgement', 'For Action', 'For Comment Coordination', 'For Comment', 'For Comment Incorporation', 'For Distribution', 'For Information' or 'For Status Change'.

For Acknowledgement

You can ask other users to acknowledge receiving a file revision.

For Action

You can ask other users to complete any particular action on the file revision by entering relevant task notes in the 'Subject' field.

'Task Notes' is available as a separate column under the 'Distribution' tab, within the 'Files' area.

If you don't see this column, click the 'Customize' option at the bottom right, move the 'Task Notes' column from 'Available Fields' to 'Selected Fields', and click 'Update'.

For Comment Coordination

You can ask other users to convert private aMessages to public for the selected file revision. A user receiving this task must be in the distribution of the said file aMessage and needs to be either the sender or recipient of the private aMessage.

For Comment Incorporation

You can ask other users to publish a new file revision. This functionality is similar to placeholder functionality. The only difference is once you give this task to any user, they need to first acknowledge the 'For Comment Incorporation' task and then select the time for the task. Once this is done, the 'For Comment Incorporation' task is marked as complete and a new 'For Publishing' task is assigned to that user with the task time that they selected.
