Share as task on Received PDF documents

Use this workflow to create a task directly from a registered received document in E-Approval. The task is linked to the document, assigned to selected users, and can be tracked from both the document view and the Tasks module.

Before you begin: The document must already be registered under E-Approval. You also need permission to share the document as a task and assign users.

Go to E-Approval. Open Department Box. Click Registered received. Select the document you want to share as a task. Click the arrow next to Share. Click Share as Task.

Complete the Task Information

The Create new Task window opens. The task name is filled automatically using the document title.

Select the task Priority. Click the Due date field and choose the deadline. Click the Assignees field to add users. Enter a short Description explaining what the assignee needs to do.

Add Assignees

In the Assign Users to Task window, search for the user. Review the available users list. Click Select next to the correct user. Confirm that the user appears under Selected users. Click Confirm.

Create the Task

After adding the assignee and description, the Create Task button becomes active.

Review the task priority, due date, assignee, and description. Click Create Task. Wait for the success message confirming that the task has been created.

Open the Created Task Project

After the task is created, the system creates or updates a related task project in the Tasks module.

Go to Tasks. Click Initiated By Me. Find the project created from the registered received document. Click the three-dot menu on the project card. Click Open.

View the Task in the Project

Inside the project workspace, the task appears in the task table. You can view the task name, progress, priority, status, assignees, and due date.

Track Task Progress from the Document

Return to the original document in E-Approval. The document now displays task progress, completion percentage, and task status.
