Task Status Icons

The task view for any project includes icons in the Status column to indicate the progress of the particular task.

Status icons are advisory only and meant to be used by individual users as notations for project progress. They are not definitive markers of progress. Changing the task status has no effect on the task itself. For example, changing the task status to Completed does not complete the task. It is simply an indication to you that you are ready to complete it. The task status changes to In Progress automatically when you save changes in the WorldServer translation workbenches. Also, the task status changes to Exported when you export a task, and Imported when you import a task.

Note: You cannot manually change a task status to Exported or Imported.

The Asset changed and Pending update statuses show that an asset has changed after the asset was segmented and that this new version of the asset is scheduled to be merged into an updated task.

Icon Label Description


Start The task is available to be started by the person to whom the task is assigned.


Revisit The task needs to be reviewed in some way for further action. It is neither in progress, not completed.


In Progress The task is in progress.


Completed The task has been completed.


Imported The task has been imported, and is waiting for a status update.


Exported The task, and files associated with it, have been exported for action.


Asset changed The source asset changed after segmentation.


Pending update The source asset changed after segmentation, and a user clicked Update. The task is now in the Pending update state, and will typically be canceled and restarted as soon as the current workflow step completes, or on completion of the next executed workflow step that allows tasks to be restarted at that point in the workflow.
