Project To-dos are the actions an employer assigns to you for a specific job. They may include reading updated instructions, completing training or a quiz, signing an agreement, submitting requested evidence, or setting up a required tool.
Finish every item labeled Required before project work before starting or returning to project work. OpenTrain may temporarily block the project’s work area until those items no longer need action from you.

​
Find your Project To-dos

1

Open Ongoing Jobs

Sign in to OpenTrain and select Ongoing Jobs from the left navigation.
2

Open the job

Find the correct job and select Start working or Manage.
3

Select Project To-dos

Open the Project To-dos tab at the top of the job. Review this tab whenever you return to a project because employers can assign new items as requirements change.
OpenTrain active job page with the Project To-dos tab selected. The page shows a required project update, its due date, and the I have read this completion button.

The Project To-dos tab inside an active job. Required items appear before the other job tabs so you can address them first.

OpenTrain shows the Project To-dos tab only when at least one to-do has been assigned to your contract. If you were told to expect a to-do but the tab is missing, confirm that you opened the correct job and ask the project manager to check your assignment.

​
Understand the list

Each card identifies the category, priority, instructions, due date when one applies, and the action you must take.

A required to-do card shows why the item matters, when it is due, and the exact completion action available to you.

​
Complete an assigned item

  1. Read the full title, description, due date, and any linked instructions.
  2. Complete the requested action using the button on the card.
  3. Return to Project To-dos and confirm that the item moved forward or no longer needs action from you.
The button and completion behavior depend on the type of to-do:
A submitted item may be returned with feedback. When that happens, read the feedback on the card, make the requested change, and submit it again.

​
If a required item blocks project work

OpenTrain can block the project’s work area while a required item needs your action. It does not block your messages, time records, earned payments, support, or disputes. Complete the items under Required to continue first. If an item is already under Waiting on your project manager, you have completed your current step and should wait for the employer’s review.

​
Get help

  • For unclear to-do instructions, missing assignments, or returned feedback, use the job’s Messages tab to contact the project team.
  • For an OpenTrain account or platform problem, select Support/Report bug in the left navigation.
  • If an external service does not verify your action, re-read the setup steps on the card before asking the project manager to check the assignment.
