About the My Assignments page
The My Assignments page contains a list of all the active assignments that have been assigned to you.
An assignment is an object, such as a topic or Collaborative Review, that was assigned to you to complete some work on. The My Assignments page shows what objects you have in progress and what the due dates are.
The assignment becomes active when the object is in the correct status for the role that you were given. For example, if you are assigned to a topic as a contributor, the assignment becomes active when the topic is in Contribute status (or the equivalent in your deployment).
The Dashboard area
The Dashboard area summarizes how many assignments you have and critical information about them.
Here are the main features within the Dashboard area on the My Assignments page:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| The number in round brackets denotes the number of objects that have been assigned for you to work on. | |
| A chart showing the different types of objects assigned to you. Clicking the name of an object type sorts your List of Assignments to show all the objects of that type. Clicking it again removes the filter. | |
| How many objects are checked out by you. Clicking this filters the List of Assignments for all the objects checked out by you. | |
| The number of assignments that are due or past due. Clicking this filters the List of Assignments for all assignments that are past their due date or due within 3 days. |
List of Assignments
The List of Assignments shows all the objects assigned to you in a Dynamic Grid. When an object is assigned to you and in the correct status, it becomes an active assignment and appears here.
You can customize the Dynamic Grid to see the information that is most important to you. The last column shows you all the available actions that you can take on the assignment, such as whether you can edit or move it.
