Task types

You can see all the tasks in a project on the Tasks tab where you can use search and filter capabilities to, for example, filter on task type. You can also change the layout of tasks and access standard operations.

When managing a project, you can create various types of task.

Task type	Description
Annotate	Lets collaborators annotate assets or fragments. With this task type, you attach assets or fragments to the task. If a user cannot select text while annotating a document, the intended text may have been converted to curves, which can happen with PDF files provided for print.
Create content	Lets contributors create content (such as assets and fragments) using the Add menu when the projects functionality for content is enabled.
Download	Lets assigned users download assets.
DRM request	Lets assigned users request permission to download assets under Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Edit content	Lets contributors request an edit on assets, fragments, and CMP content or their associated properties.
Global review	Lets project managers initiate a review of content with a lifecycle status of global. When one of the assigned reviewers completes a global review task, it is closed. Note In project management, global review tasks have their own approval status, separate from the lifecycle review statuses applied to assets in digital asset management.
Localization variant	Lets assigned users see localization-specific information for a selection of assets or content items on the details page. This includes a Localized from section that links to the original asset or content item and a Localized to section that links to the localized variant.
Local review	Lets contributors initiate a review of content with a status of project-specific or job-specific. When an assigned reviewer completes this task, it is closed.
Parallel review	Lets contributors initiate a review of content while other reviewers perform a similar task on the same content in parallel. When all assigned reviewers finish their respective tasks, the review is closed. A parallel task does not impact the content lifecycle.
To do	Lets program managers ask users to do things that do not have a specific task type.
Upload version	Lets creators upload an updated version of existing assets.

Note

Task types are configurable. If you have the necessary permissions, you can change the icon and color associated with a task type, rename a task type, and reorder or hide task types.
