Most users know that Collaborative Tasks in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a very versatile tool for carrying out a variety of operations such as...

• Transferring files between two users
• Procuring deliverables from different stakeholders
• Conducting simple work flow
• Making the associate to a project become a project task

The purpose of this article is to explore how any user within an organization can leverage this versatile tool for everyday work.

Let us say, Person A wants to get Person B to work on a design project. Person A then creates a Collaborative Task, attaches the required instructions and assigns it to Person B.

Now, as Person B starts to work on this, he will realize that he needs additional inputs from other stakeholders. Therefore, he calls for meetings to discuss the topic. Once he gets all the needed inputs, he will be able to complete the work, attach the deliverable to the Collaborative Task and promote it, which will let Person A know that work has been accomplished.

The attached video shows how all the above work could be done within a Collaborative Task, and how it can seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Office tools for efficient work.
