Work Steps

The Work Steps section determines what types of jobs will be created and assigned for the project. This includes defining the actual workflow for the project, configuring a default assignment mode, and optionally entering hours or words/per day for automatic deadline calculation. 

Preset Workflows

On the left side of this section underneath Work Steps, you will see a clickable option titled Preset workflow. Here you may choose a pre-configured workflow for the template. 

By clicking on this option, you will be presented with several preset workflows that may be used to simplify the workflow template configuration process. Simply click on the desired workflow and the job types will be automatically appear in the configuration. 

In the example below, the Translation + Revision + Proofreading preset workflow has been chosen: 

Add Your Own Tasks

If you do not want to use a preset workflow or more tasks need to be added, another option is provided at the bottom of this section for manually adding tasks to the workflow. Just click on Add more tasks to begin making selections. 

Then click on the drop-down menu and choose the task you want to add to the current workflow. 

Once a selection has been made from the provided drop-down menu, you will see it on the screen as shown below. Then click on the Add Button to add it to the work steps for the template. 

The added task will appear at the bottom of the current workflow. You may add as many tasks as needed for the workflow template.
