Task assignment

Team and Enterprise users can assign tasks after creating projects and adding members.

In Team, tasks are assigned based on words (source). In Enterprise, tasks are assigned based on net rate words (source). Net rate (source) = word count (source) × the percent of rates in Net Rate Scheme of the project. The discount percentage of TMs and MT in the Net Rate Scheme will be available only when the pre-translation is enabled. You can check the use of Net Rate Scheme in Settings under Projects in Enterprise.

This document introduces how to assign tasks in Enterprise.
