Contact SalesTasks Tab
Overview
The Tasks tab allows you to view a more granular list of your submitted tasks, filterable by status, project, and batch.
It is possible your task filters will hide all tasks. Please check your task filters carefully!
Task Filters
You can search through your tasks using the following filters:
1. Project name: Please select the project from the bar on the left
2. Live Tasks / Test Tasks: Test tasks are used to testing purposes and live tasks are used for labeling. This environment is accessible through our API using the associated API keys (Test_xxx, Live_xxx)
3. Tasks completed/created in range : Select the task completion or creation date range
Note: You are able to select UTC Time, Pacific Time, or Local Time
4. Task Status
You can also filter based on the task status. Here are the following status options:
Completed - Tasks that have been completed by our taskers
In Progress - Tasks that are being worked on by our taskers
Queued - Tasks that have not been worked on yet
Error - Tasks that have errors.
Canceled - Tasks that have been cancelled by our customers
Redo - Tasks that have been re-done by Scale
5. Audit Status
Filter based on the customer audit status:
Read to Audit (Tasks that have not been audited yet)
Accepted
Fixed
Rejected
6. Batch name: Batches are an optional way to organize and name tasks.
In Progress vs. Queued
You can only cancel tasks that are Queued.
Once the status of a task has moved into In Progress that means the task is already being worked on and can no longer be canceled.

Audit Tasks
To audit tasks, please navigate to the “Quality” tab. This will allow you to generate a random sample of completed tasks that you can review. In this view you can:
Accept - This will signal that we have completed the task to your quality standards
Fix - If you want to make an immediately update to your callback response, you can fix tasks directly
previous responses will be saved in the
prior_reponsefield of the callback body and theresponsefield will be updated with the updated response.
Reject - This will signal that we have not met your quality standards.
To learn more about this workflow, please see our best practices here.
Cancel Tasks
You can only cancel tasks via the API - you can learn more about this endpoint here.
You can only cancel tasks that are Queued.
Please do not cancel tasks that are In Progress. These tasks are already being worked on. Cancelling these tasks may result in a charge to compensate for the existing work.
