All tasks assigned to you are available by navigating to File > Open Task or from My Tasks on the dashboard. The PM will give you a screenshot or a list of tasks assigned to you for the project. Note that the dates on the Due date column might differ from the deadline you got from your PM - always deliver projects by the deadline in your PO, not the deadline in Across!
You will need to confirm the tasks assigned to you before you can start working on the files. To confirm the assigned tasks, go to My Tasks in the crossBoard and make sure that you only confirm and work on tasks listed for the current project. Select the tasks you wish to confirm and click Confirm/Reject. Click Confirm and Open if you wish to start working on the files immediately.
