Tasks View

The Tasks view (see figure below) displays a list of items with task markers, bookmarks, and re-check markers assigned to them in the currently active translation project.  These are typically things needing to be done for specific items (translation units) and can be thought of as a kind of "to-do list" for the translator.

The three types of markers used in the Tasks view are:

Double-clicking on an entry in the list causes the item to be selected in the Text Table view as well as in the Translation Edit bar; accordingly, selecting an item that bears such a marker/note in either of those views will highlight the corresponding entry in the Tasks view.  You can also use the Go To Translation Unit button at the top of the view to activate the selected task's item in the Text Table

view/Translation Edit bar.

A task marker, bookmark, or re-check marker can be attached to a translation unit using any of the following methods:

Initially Tasks view items are unchecked, indicating that the task needs to be performed.  These are also capable of being checked to indicate that the task has been completed.  Doing this causes the task's icon to change color (indicating completion/resolution).

Each task marker, bookmark, and re-check marker has a default description text displayed in the view.  The description text can be edited in the field at the bottom of the Tasks view (see figure above). A single-click on a selected entry in the list display will also allow this text to be modified.

Additionally, the description texts of task markers and re-check markers can be edited in the respective fields located in the Translation Edit bar.

Double-click on a list entry to select the corresponding translation unit in the Text Table view.  The Go to Translation Unit button at the top of the view will also activate the selected task's item in the Text Table view/Translation Edit bar.

NOTE: If the translation unit is not currently visible (not listed) in the Text Table view, a Flash Info window appears to inform the user.

A task can be designated as "completed" (without deleting it) by checking the check box beside the entry in the Tasks list.  Doing this causes the task item's icon to change color (indicating completion/resolution).

To delete a task, select the entry and press the Delete button at the top of the view.  Selecting the item and using the appropriate button from the Item State toolbar will also remove an existing task marker, bookmark, or re-check marker.
