Introduction to the Task List
The Task List allows you to view and manage tasks in AcceleratorApp.
From the Task List, you can review your Active, Completed, and Assigned tasks. Depending on your role and workflow, you may also see task sections such as User's Tasks and Startup Tasks in the left-side panel.
Tasks help you keep track of work that is due, already completed, or assigned to other people.

- Click the Menu icon in the top left corner.

From there, you can review your task list and switch between the available task tabs.
Task Tabs
The Task List includes three main tabs:

Receiving a Task and What to Do About It
You will receive a notification every time you receive a task or task request.
Depending on who sent the task, it may either be:
- automatically assigned and added to your task list
- sent as a request for you to accept or deny
If you accept the request, the task will be added to your task list.
If you deny the request, it will be closed and no task will be added.
Tips & Best Practices
- Check the Active tab regularly to stay on top of overdue and upcoming tasks.
- Use clear task names so the purpose of each task is easy to understand.
- Add a due date when creating tasks so timelines are clear.
- Use the Assigned tab to follow up on tasks you created for others.
