# Action Required

> Answer offers, confirm attendance, file worksheets and deliver orders — the proceedings queue and what clears each card.

When a red number appears beside Proceedings in the sidebar, something on a deposition can't move without you. Click Action Required underneath it and every one of those things is on the page as a card, each with the button that clears it.

Four kinds of card land here: an offer of a seat, a request to confirm you're still coming, a worksheet the job is waiting on, and an order you owe after the deposition. Every card carries a priority badge — offers and confirmations are always high, worksheets medium, and an order's priority tracks how close its due date is.

The count refreshes on its own every three minutes, but only while this browser tab is in front. Leave the app open behind something else and the numbers freeze until you come back, so use the refresh icon at the top right if you've just acted somewhere else and want the page caught up.

<Note>
  Assignment and confirmation emails carry a link that works without signing in. If you already accepted, declined or confirmed from your inbox, the matching card is simply gone by the time you open the queue — it was the same action, not a second one.

## Taking or turning down an offer

A card appears under Assignments when the agency offers you a role on a proceeding. It shows your role, how many hours the session runs and its date, and where it's happening — the venue for an in-person job, the meeting service for a remote one, both for a hybrid. In-person and hybrid cards also show the distance from your mailing address, which only appears if your address is on file.

View Details opens the offer in full, with the schedule and the location, and gives you two ways out.

Accept Assignment takes the seat and drops you straight on the job. Decline asks for a reason from a fixed list plus a comment — required if you pick Other, capped at 500 characters. Declining is final: the card goes and the offer only comes back if the agency deliberately re-sends it to you.

Two things about offers surprise people. The same seat may have been offered to several workers at once, so a card can disappear on its own when somebody else accepts first. And if the deposition is less than two days out when you accept, your attendance is recorded as confirmed on the spot — you'll never get a confirmation card or a confirmation email for that job, just the reminder before the session.

[Getting Assignments](/team-adF2334soP/proceedings/assignments) covers the offer in more detail, including the email route.

## Confirming you'll be there

About two days before the deposition, every assignment you've accepted asks you to confirm you're still coming, and a Confirmations card appears. The request also arrives by email; the sweep runs once a day, so expect it somewhere between one and two days out rather than exactly 48 hours before.

Confirm Assignment clears the card, and a reminder email follows about an hour before the session starts.

Cancel Attendance gives up the seat and asks for a reason the same way declining does. It releases your seat immediately and you can't take it back yourself — the agency has to re-assign you.

The card stays until you answer it, including after the session has started, so a confirmation you never got around to is still sitting there on the day.

## Filing a worksheet the job is waiting on

Court reporters and videographers get a Worksheets card once the deposition is under way, and it stays until a worksheet exists for that job. Enter Worksheet opens yours for the role you were booked in.

Because the card keys off the agency's view of the job rather than yours, a worksheet can still be waiting on a proceeding your own lists show as Complete. The job is being finalized and your sheet is what's holding it. See [filing the worksheet](/team-adF2334soP/proceedings/worksheet) for what goes on it.

## Delivering an order

You get one Orders card per order assigned to you that's still Pending, with its due date and a View Order button. The badge on the card is the [order's id](/team-adF2334soP/proceedings/order), something like `P-1482-SO-2`.

The card clears when the order leaves Pending, which happens once you've uploaded and submitted what the product calls for. The priority badge tracks the due date: past due reads high, due inside two days reads medium, anything further out reads low. [Managing Orders](/team-adF2334soP/proceedings/order) covers the upload itself.

## How the tabs behave

All is always there. Each of the four buckets gets its own tab, with its own counter, only while it has cards — so the tab strip changes shape as you work. Clear the last confirmation and the Confirmations tab vanishes and you land back on All.

Clear the last card in the whole queue and you're sent to your active proceedings rather than left on an empty page, and the Action Required link disappears from under Proceedings until something new arrives. An absent link means nothing is pending, not that you've lost the page.

## What doesn't show up here

Money doesn't. An invoice you haven't submitted, or one submitted and not yet paid, won't badge this queue or anything else — check [Getting Paid](/team-adF2334soP/accounting/manage) directly for that.

Neither do your transcription jobs or your own documents. Those have their own separate queues under Transcription and Dashboard, each with its own count.
