Taskboard #

The Taskboard tool notifies you of marketplace chores awaiting your approval like accepting vendors, product approvals, coupon approvals, pending commissions, answering or viewing customer questions, and so on. With each of these taskboard elements, you can perform the following actions – 

• Approve – This action is represented by a stamp icon which lets you put a stamp of approval on acceptable products, vendors, coupons, commissions and questions. 
• Reject – Rejection is represented here using a cross icon. You can reject unacceptable vendor candidates while providing them with an explanation.
• Dismiss – Dismiss action removes tasks from your taskboard that you do not wish to attend. This action is represented by a prohibition icon 
• Edit – The edit option on your taskboard allows you to view product, coupon or vendor detail.

Along with this taskboard also create a notification prompt that appears on your MultiVendorX menu showing pending items awaiting your approval.
