Assets¶

Check the box under the Assets section to make assets uploaded to a project or task inactive. Users can’t download or view assets (read more about asset statuses). Acquia suggests checking this box to ensure assets in production aren’t accessed by unauthorized users.

1. Locally stored assets: Assets added to a task or project and not housed in your DAM earlier, will display in a folder titled Workstream Assets. By default, only admins will be can view the Workstream Assets folder. Once the assets have been added to the DAM, they can be moved to other folders with the permissions of the folder applied.

   Important

   Don’t delete or rename the Workstream Assets folder.

2. DAM assets: Assets added to a task or project from a folder in your DAM will remain in their original folder and will be accessible to those who have permissions to view and download them.

Task statuses¶

Task statuses are a way for users to provide updates on the status of a particular task. Two of the task statuses can be customized to your needs, while the others are static.

1. To edit the status name, click Edit Title.

2. To edit the color of a status, click the color preview swatch and select your desired color.

Notifications¶

Notifications alert assignees, watchers, sponsors, and requesters of critical events taking place about projects and tasks they’re associated with. Users will receive an email to alert them of notifications within Workstream. Notifications can also be accessed within Workstream by clicking the Notifications icon in the top right.

The following are some examples of alerts a user may receive:

• Task assignees are notified when assigned to a (new) task, due date changes, task comments, asset approval comments, and upcoming task due dates.

• Project sponsors are notified when a project is created, completed, sponsorship changes, launch date changes, and all project tasks are marked complete.

• Watchers are notified when a project is created, when added to project or task, completion of a project/task, changes to project/task launch or due dates.

• Requestors are notified when an asset is approved with or without changes, rejected, or moved to the next approval step.
