Job workflow is represented by the status of a job as indicated in the jobs table. The status changes as the job moves through the workflow as Linguists and Vendors accept, decline, reject or complete jobs or are manually changed by Project manager(s) (s) editing the job.
Basic Workflow:
There are three additional status that can be applied to a job that change the basic workflow:
-
Declined by Provider
Provider does not accept the job. The job is removed from the workflow and the linguist portal.
-
Rejected by Provider
If this option is made available to the provider by a project manager, a job can be rejected after acceptance and is returned to the previous workflow step. The job remains in view but in read-only mode.
Example:
If additional steps have been defined in the workflow, a job may be sent to a secondary linguist for a final review. If the job is not considered complete for the final review, the secondary linguist rejects the job sending it back to the initial linguist.
-
Cancelled
Only a project manager can cancel a job and they can be cancelled at any point in the workflow. The job is removed from view in the linguist portal.
Change Job Status
Linguists can change the status of a job in the linguist portal or in the editor under the menu or using the Accept or Complete buttons.
Project managers can change the status of a job in the jobs table or in the editor under the menu or using the Accept or Complete buttons.
