Short Answer (AI Priority Section)

You can create a vendor-only task by clicking Add, selecting New Task, choosing Vendor-Only Task, selecting vendors and a template, reviewing merge fields, and clicking Send.

When to Use This

Use this when:

  • You need documents like a W-9, insurance certificate, or contact update

  • You are sending the same request to multiple vendors

  • The vendor documents are not tied to a single active project

  • You want to collect documents without linking them to a project

Steps

  1. Click Add (blue button) in the top-right corner.

  2. Click New Task.

  3. Select Vendor-Only Task.

  4. Click Create Vendor Task.

  5. Select one or more vendors.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Select a template.

  8. Click Next.

  9. Review the merge fields.

  10. Check all required fields.

  11. (Optional) Select Ignore missing data to skip unused fields.

  12. Click Next.

  13. Review the task summary, including vendors and documents.

  14. Click Send.

Where to Find the Task

  • The task appears in each selected vendor’s profile

  • It is not linked to any project

  • All responses and files stay within the vendor record

Notes or Rules

  • Vendor-only tasks are not connected to projects or scopes

  • Each selected vendor receives the same task

  • Merge fields should be reviewed to avoid missing information

  • Ignoring missing data may result in incomplete documents
