Tasks that don't require uploads
Once you have completed the task, click on the Mark as complete button to complete the task.
Tasks that require uploads
You will notice that the Submit for Review button is greyed out. You will be unable to complete the task until you have uploaded the requested files that were specified in the task. This may be an excel report or photos taken of your store (for a new Window or floorset deployment etc.)
For more information, please read the article: Uploading Files for Review.
Once you have uploaded the required files, the button will no longer be greyed out and you will be able to click on the 'Submit for review' button.
Tasks with Questions
Tasks are also an opportunity for your colleagues to gather your feedback or collect key information. There may be some questions or other information asked of you within a task.
Ensure that you completed all mandatory questions (marked with *) before being able to complete these tasks.
