Tasks get Permission(s) to be even smarter!

Just last week we announced that Create Tasks got new multi-User selection.

Now they know who can send what permission.

When attaching files the Create Task screen will allow Users to past digital Approve, Reject, Revise permissions to the recipients.


What is new today is that the User creating the Task can only attach a permission that they themselves hold. Logical if you stop to think about it.

If you arrive on the Task screen during a file upload the system already knows the folder to which the file you are forwarding belongs and the checkboxes will automatically activate. However if the User is originating a Task and attaching a file, the checkboxes will not activate until the User selects a file to forward. This is a result of the fact that permissions are by folder. So until the user identifies the folder from which they are selecting a file; the system does not know what permissions to activate. Pretty cool!
