Actions

The action register holds the assigned tasks ddx PMO picks out of your communications — things someone agreed to do. Actions also appear here when you import an existing list.

Open it from a project’s sidebar. The label may read Actions, Action items, or Tasks depending on the project’s methodology.

What a row shows

Each row lists the action’s title and description, its owner, a due date, and a status:

Status	Meaning
open	Raised, not started
in progress	Being worked on
done	Completed
cancelled	No longer needed

Expand a row to reach its assignment controls and relations, or follow Open detail for the evidence chain, notes, and full history.

Owners and assignees

The owner column shows who’s responsible. An action that came from a communication usually carries the owner’s name and email as written. When ddx PMO can match that email to a stakeholder, it shows the stakeholder’s name; if that stakeholder is linked to a person who signs in, the action also reaches their My work page.

To set the owner yourself, expand a row and use the Assign panel to pick a stakeholder, or Unassign to clear it. A manually assigned owner is marked pinned and won’t be overwritten by automatic matching.

Note

When an action has an owner email — on import or from a communication — ddx PMO creates or reuses a stakeholder for that address, so the owner is a real record rather than a bare email.

Completing an action

You can mark an action done in three places: the Complete button on a row in My work, the same button on the action’s own detail page (Open detail), and — for the project team — the Project workload board.

Who can close what:

• Your own actions. Anyone assigned an action can complete it, whatever their role on the project. If it’s on your My work page, or the action shows you as the owner, you can close it.
• Other people’s actions. Completing an action assigned to someone else needs write access to the project, or workspace admin.

When an inbound email looks like it finished an action, ddx PMO doesn’t close it outright — it flags a done? suggestion instead. See how ddx PMO closes actions.

Current vs all

The register opens on Current, showing the live head of each action; superseded versions and duplicates are grouped underneath, so expand a row to see its history. Switch to All to list every version, and tick Show archived to include archived ones.

Importing existing actions

Use Import to bring an existing action list in from a table or pasted text (Markdown, CSV, or copied spreadsheet rows). ddx PMO maps your columns to fields such as title, owner, owner email, due date, status, and notes, and lets you correct the mapping before committing. See Import your data for the full flow.

Day-to-day

For working through actions assigned to you and marking them done, use the My actions filter here or your My work page. When an inbound email looks like it completed an action, ddx PMO flags a done? suggestion on the row — one click confirms it or dismisses it.
