Working in an Item Analysis Review task as an assignee

Review tasks allow you to inspect an item list on an item-by-item basis. Item Analysis Review tasks allow assignees to view and comment on the items provided in the task. Assignees can also view other assignees’ comments on each item.

NOTE: Only users with the Review Assignee permission can work in Review tasks. Assignees who are also users with a Manager permission also have task manager abilities for all respective task types, read Working as a task manager and 'Tasks permissions' in Creating a new role for more information.

This article explains how to work in an Item Analysis Review task as an assignee.

Item’s correct answers are always denoted by a green tick.

Navigating between items

There are multiple ways to navigate between items in the task.

Flagging items

You can flag items to mark them for an action at a later time. As lead assignee, you can see all assignees’ flagged items.

3. Submit a comment

IMPORTANT: After a final decision has been made on an item, it is no longer available for assignees to review.

In Item Analysis Review tasks, assignees comment on the quality of items.

Select Submit Comment to open the dialog box.

Enter your comment (maximum 4000 characters) and select Submit to post your comment.

To edit your comment, select Submit again. Select Cancel to exit the Submit Comment dialog.

Select Comments to open the Comments dialog and see the comments you and other assignees have left on the item.

Items you have submitted a comment for display a tick on the corresponding item in the item list breadcrumbs.

NOTE: You can repeat this process to change a comment as many times as necessary before the task is finalised or expires.

4. Close the task

Once the task is completed, you can close the Item Analysis Review task.

Select Return to Tasks to close the task and return to the Tasks screen.

5. Complete the task

Select Complete Task in the task details panel when you are satisfied that the task is complete.

This submits all of your comments to the items, allowing other assignees and lead assignees to see your comments.

Marking a task as incomplete

You can mark a task as incomplete if you incorrectly select Complete Task or the task needs to be reopened for further work.
