9. Check the progress of a task, check the completion of a task

The status of a task can be checked by the icon displayed on the task's page.

• "Looking for" This is the status that the task is looking for an Owner. When you create a task, the task will be set to this status.
• "On going" This is the status that the Task Owner is executing the Task. Once the Task Creator determines and assigns the Task Owner, the task will have this status.
• "Under review" This is the status that the Task Owner has completed the Task and the Task Creator is reviewing it. When the Task Owner completes the task and requests a review, the task will be set to this status.
• "Complete" This is the status that the Task Creator has completed the review and approved the completion of the task. Once the Task Creator has completed the review and approval process, the task will be set to this status.
• From the time the Task Owner is assigned and the Task is in "On going" status until the Task completes its review and the Task is in the "Complete" status, the Task Owner and Task Creator should communicate about the progress, etc. using the following means:
  • Comments that can be posted to a task's page
  • Direct messages between users
  • Threads on the challenges page

As mentioned above, when the Task Owner completes a Task and asks the Task Creator to review it, the status of the Task will change to "Under review". The Task Owner review the Task to see if it is complete, and if the review shows that there are no problems with the execution, the Task Owner close the Task by changing its status to "Complete".

To set a task to Complete, go to the task's page from the list of the tasks in the challenge, or other link. Click on ... icon at the top right of the page and select Approve the completion of this task from the menu. The task will be set to "Complete".
