Edit Manual Task settings

In the Task Settings block, you can edit the Block Size and Task Priority fields.

• Block Size stands for the number of records displayed for one task. The default value is 1. If the Block Size is 3, a Worker is to complete three records to get paid for one task.

• Task priority is the priority of the current MT. For priority setup, refer to Run Priorities.

  

  Set the Task Priority to change the task ranking in the search results of target endpoints. Tasks with the highest priority are displayed at the top.

  Example:

  Suppose, you have two similar MTs with different input data files. You want Workers to complete the second MT in the first turn. For that, set the second MT's priority to Max.

  When a worker finds the task type and clicks the View link, they see the MTs with the highest priority on top.
