# Tasks

> Track the open work in your vendor program in one place.

**Tasks** are the concrete pieces of work in your vendor program — the follow-ups that keep assessments moving and approvals current. The dashboard shows a live count of active tasks so nothing slips.

## Where tasks come from

Tasks are attached to the vendors and assessments that need attention. In the assessments inbox, a vendor with open work shows an **open task** marker, so you can see at a glance which reviews are waiting on something.

Typical tasks include:

* Finishing an assessment that's still **In Progress**
* Following up on a **Conditional Approval** condition
* Re-reviewing a vendor after an incident
* Renewing an approval that's nearing its review date

## Working through tasks

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Tasks page">
    From the sidebar, open **Tasks** to see everything that needs action across your portfolio.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the highest-impact item">
    Prioritize Core vendors and anything tied to a Rejected or On Hold status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resolve it in context">
    Jump straight to the vendor or assessment, make the change, and save. Completing the work clears the task.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The **Active tasks** tile on the [dashboard](/guides/dashboard) is the fastest way to see whether your program has open work waiting.
