## Procedure

1. Select WorkspacesVendor Management Workspace and then select the Risk tab to open the workspace to the home page and then select the task icon ![]().
2. On either the My pending tasks or My group's tasks tab, select Tasks, and then select the task number.  
   Note:  
   The other options in the list (Due diligence requests, Issues, and so on) also enable you to select a task to work on.
