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

While distributing files or placeholders 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', 'For Status Change', or 'For Publishing'.

Applicable to: Files Only

You can ask other users to publish a new file revision. This functionality is similar to the placeholder functionality. The only difference is that 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.
