Task Types workspace
In the Task Types workspace, you create task types. A task type is a classification used to identify the type of the task and the way the task is used. For example, you can use a Create Form task type for assigning form creation work.
Definitions of task types
For each task type, you define:
- A classification, which identifies the purpose of a task. The options are Standard and Translation.
- A study or library team to which tasks of that type are assigned by default.
- For Standard tasks, specifying a team is optional, and Central Designer users can override the default assignment.
- For Translation tasks, you must specify a team, and Central Designer users cannot override the assignment. In the Central Designer application, only the users with the language fluency skills for the requested translation work can view the translation task.
Note: Study and library roles appear as study and library teams in the Central Designer application.
Sample task types
You can choose the level of detail that you need for task types. For example, you can have a generic Work request task type, or you can create specific types such as:
- Rule design
- Layout design
- Translation
If people frequently require clarification about tasks that are assigned to them and you need to track the requests for additional information, consider creating a Clarification task type that people can use to obtain additional information.
