Require acceptance of task/project | This feature enables Project Managers to request Linguists and/or LSPs to confirm that they are available for the workflow step to which they have been assigned. The relevant users receive email notifications. Linguists must accept a task before being able to start work on it. LSPs must accept a project before being able to start work on it. Project Managers will automatically be notified, by email, as soon as one of the Linguists accepts or declines their task or one of the LSPs accepts or declines the project. When you select the Require acceptance of task/project checkbox, use the System default dropdown to specify a default setting for which users must accept a project or a task that is assigned to them.
