Collaboration tools: Tasks

With Task collaboration, you can create, assign, view, and resolve tasks in the context of the relevant submission. The tasks list includes the assignee, date and time the task was created or edited, task summary, task details, and due date. A paperclip icon indicates that there is a file attached to the task. Tasks that have been resolved are listed at the bottom of the list under Completed Tasks.
