Actioning tasks and viewing notifications


The assessor portal includes a tasks and notifications feature to inform and prompt action. An email alert will also be received for all tasks and some notifications.

A task is an activity that an assessor needs to action (finalise/close). A notification is an activity that informs the assessor of an event. The assessor may need to complete an action as a result of the notification.
