Here is the finalized, highly scannable, and visually structured guide for the **Procorem Task & Workflow Cycle**, designed for MDDHCD collaborators.

## 🏗️ The Procorem Task & Workflow Cycle
When collaborating on projects or compliance submissions with MDDHCD, tasks follow an automated, sequential pipeline:
```
[1. Task Chain Created] ➔ [2. Assigned with Deadline] ➔ [3. Assignee Marks Completed]
│
[6. Next Task Triggered] ◀ [5. Deadline Recalculated] ◀ [4. Owner Approves (Thumbs-Up)]
```
### 1. Account Setup & Project Assignment
* **Invitation:** You will receive an email invitation to join a specific project WorkCenter. Check your spam/junk folder if you do not see it.
* **Account Creation:** Click **Sign Up**, verify your auto-populated details, create a secure password, and accept the Terms and Conditions.
* **The Dashboard:** Upon logging in, you will land on **My Activity Feed**. Use the left-hand navigation menu to view your assigned WorkCenters, tracking calendars, and active tasks.
### 2. File Upload Protocol
Before marking an assigned task as finished, you must upload all required compliance or application documents.
* **Navigation:** Select the **Files** tab within your designated WorkCenter and open the correct subfolder.
* **Naming Convention:** Use this strict format to avoid processing delays:
> `File Type_Property Name_HFA Number_Upload Date(year.day.month)`
* **Uploading:** Drag and drop your files or use the **Choose File** button, then click **Upload**.
📌 *Note: Completing a document upload automatically sends an email notification to your portfolio manager, including any comments you leave on the upload screen.*
### 3. Completing Assigned Tasks
Once your files are successfully uploaded, you must manually trigger the next workflow step in Procorem:
1. Go to the **Tasks** tab in your WorkCenter.
2. Click on the specific task you have fulfilled.
3. Under the *Assigned To* section, check the **Mark Finished** box.
4. Click **OK** on the confirmation pop-up. The status button will update to a green **Finished** indicator, and a confirmation banner will appear at the top of your screen.
### 4. Review, Approval, and Chain Reaction
* **The Review:** Your completion triggers an automated email to the Task Owner (e.g., your MDDHCD Portfolio Manager).
* **The Thumbs-Up:** The Task Owner reviews your uploaded documents and officially approves the task by giving it a **Thumbs-Up**.
* **Auto-Recalculation:** Procorem immediately recalculates downstream deadlines based on pre-set task dependencies.
* **Next Task Trigger:** The system automatically activates and issues the next step in the chain to its respective assignee, keeping the project timeline moving smoothly.
