You are returned to the Processes page, which displays the process list with the process that you just started.
On the Processes page, you can view running processes and see the current and completed tasks. You can also add comments that are available for anyone involved in the process.
- Now that you have started the process, you should complete the tasks you defined in it. Go to
the Tasks tab.
The first step in the process is a task to review the project, and accept or reject it. Remember that when you created the first step in Step Editor, you specified that the task should be assigned to the process initiator. Since you started the process, you are the process initiator and this task is assigned to you.

At this stage you can add people, documents, and comments to the task.
