Action Items provide a simplified version of Workplan and Notification features designed to be used as a to do list on a more granular level than Workplan. Users can see at a glance items that have been assigned to them, due dates and current status. Click on an item to see applicable comments in text box. The default view is for the last action item entered to show first.

Action Items are added and edited by an administrator in the VPC Admin interface, but users can add/edit comments and change status by either clicking on item and then edit button, or double clicking on item thereby opening an edit panel. Comments may not exceed 128 characters.

Unless disabled by admin, users will receive an e-mail notification when an action item is assigned to them, or the status changes from closed to open. If this feature is not disabled by admin, users will also see open action items assigned to them on a proposal-by-proposal basis in the daily report. Past due items will show in red. An e-mail will be sent to assignees if action items are past due.
