Receiving Activities
By default, new activities that have been shared with you will be entered into your activity list automatically. If you have turned auto-sync off, you will be notified that messages are waiting for you by the small blue down arrow at the bottom right corner of Accomplice. Click on the "Send/Receive" button to receive your messages.
When you receive a new activity from someone else, the Requests button in the dashboard will flash. This means that either someone has requested that you work on an activity with them, or that someone would like to inform you of an activity that they are working on. Click the flashing Requests button to jump to the Updates tab and view all your pending share requests.
Unread requests will be displayed in bold type, so you can quickly see which requests await your response. To act on a request, just click on it. The details, team, and notes panes below will display all the information pertaining to that activity including: the activity description and settings, a list of all the people currently sharing (or invited to share) the activity, and all the notes that have been attached to the activity.
Above all this information are 3 buttons: OK, I won't own it, but keep me informed, and Decline. The middle button will change depending on whether the person who has sent you the activity has designated you as the Owner or not. In both cases, it allows you to indicate to the rest of the team that you wish to be more or less active in participating on the activitiy: either as an Owner or a regular team member. Click any of these buttons to respond to the request.
To accept the activity and begin sharing it with the requester and other team members, click OK. You will now send and receive updates and notes pertaining to this activity.
To view the new activity in your activity outline, click on the name of the activity in the details panel and Accomplice will navigate directly to the new activity in your Activity list.
If you would like to accept the activity, but you think that you should have a different role on it than the one suggested by the requester, click the second button: I won't own it, but keep me informed. If the requester has not asked you to own the activity, and you would like to, click the button that says OK - In fact, I'll own it.
Finally, if you do not want to share the activity, click the Decline button. The activity will be removed from your system, and a message will be sent to the requester (and everyone else sharing the activity) to inform them that you have declined the activity.
