With the Tasks feature, users can keep track of their tasks and assignments. This page shows users the functionalities of the Tasks feature.
Preview a Task
Click a row on the Tasks page to open a preview of the task in the Workbench application. By accessing a preview of a task, linguists can determine if the task fits their skill set and is appropriate for their current workload.
View a task’s document ID
Click the document symbol in the applicable row to view the document ID and the document UUID of the selected task. Click the ID or the UUID to copy it on your computer’s clipboard.

You can also set up the columns on the Tasks page to show the Document ID and UUID columns. |
Open a task
Click the More symbol in the second to the right column of the applicable row to begin working on a task.
When the options appear, select any of the following:
Launch Workbench. Select Launch Workbench to open the Workbench application and then begin translating files. This option is ideal for files with few formatting complexities.
Launch Doc Viewer. Select Launch Doc Viewer to open the Document Viewer and then quickly scan and check multiple segments at once. This option is ideal for file reviewers.
Upload Finalized File. Select Upload Finalized File to upload the final version of the translated file. This option is ideal for DTP.
Check in and check out tasks
Tasks can be assigned to individual linguists or to translating teams.
If you are a linguist, you can assign a task to yourself by checking out the task. It’s important to check out the task to reserve it for you, thus making sure that the task doesn’t appear in other linguist’s pipeline.
To check out a task, click the More symbol in the second column from the right. When the options appear, select Check Out.
If a task is left uncompleted, linguists can check back in a task to continue working on it. To check in a task, click the More symbol in the second column from the right. When the options appear, select Check In.

The following are other functionalities that users can use in the Tasks feature. To access these options, click the More symbol in the second column from the right.
