Tasks for approval

The task author can monitor the status of tasks assigned to other users. In the project overview, there is a list of tasks available for approval. After completing the task, the assigned user changes its status to “Done”. The list of completed tasks is displayed to the author in the project overview in the “For approval” widget. The author decides whether to accept or reject the task.

Screen 1

If accepted:

• the task disappears from the For approval list, and the message “The task was accepted” is displayed on the screen,
• the task status changes to “Closed”,
• the assigned user receives a notification about the status change.

If rejected:

• the task disappears from the For approval list, and the message “The task was rejected” is displayed on the screen,
• the task status changes to Rejected,
• the assigned user receives a notification about the status change,
• the assigned user returns to revise the task. After revision and changing the status to “Done”, the task will reappear on the For approval list.

The actions Accept and Reject are also displayed in the Issue details window:

• only the task author can see these actions,
• they are only visible if the assigned user has changed the task status to “Done”,
• after using the Accept or Reject actions, they disappear from the header, and the status is updated accordingly.

Statuses “Closed” and “Rejected” are assigned automatically by the system. They depend on the actions Accept and Reject. Users can’t use them directly. If a user changes the status of a closed or rejected task, they can do so, but they will not be able to revert it back to closed/rejected. The approval process will start again.
