Manual Tasks
Use the Manual Tasks dialog box to manage the manual tasks that are available to assign to packages. When you create a project package you are required to assign a manual task to the recipient of the package to complete. A manual task is an assignment that you have to perform and its purpose is to give instructions on what work needs to be completed. For example, if you send a translator a project package, you could assign the translator the Translate task to indicate that they should translate the files in the package.
To display this dialog box, click the Tasks button on the Review Project Packages page of the Create Project Package wizard or select from the Ribbon.
