Request confirmation of acceptance of a task
When assigning users to the individual workflow steps, the project manager can request a confirmation from the users. This is possible in the “Users” tab of the project overview: If you select the status “unconfirmed” in the drop-down here, the “Confirm task?” window will appear for the requested users when they open the task in the Editor, which must be used to confirm acceptance of the job. Editing of the task will only be possible after this has been done.
For workflows with the collaboration modes “simultaneous work” and “sequential work”, the confirmation is only used to provide feedback to the project manager that the assigned users accept the work. Only in the “competing assignment” collaboration mode, the confirmation of jobs ensures that the other requested users no longer have access to the task.
| The “initial task state” configuration field can be used to set the initial status of the tasks to “unconfirmed”. This can either be done in the system configuration, in the client profile or during project creation. This means that the very first workflow step is always assigned as “unconfirmed” and must be confirmed by the requested user. |

| If confirmations are requested for second and subsequent workflow steps, these can only be confirmed when the workflow jumps to the relevant step, i.e. when the preceding jobs have been finished. |
