Knowledge Base

Project Center’s Task Search feature lets you look for specific tasks that contributors have submitted for your assignments. Tasks are the individual units of work contributors complete on the OneSpace WorkStation platform. This feature is useful when you want to review important details about an individual task in one of your workflows.

Payments

PAY FOR A REJECTED TASK:

Pay for a Rejected Task

Task payments are issued via PayPal and process once a day at approximately 5:00 AM CST. Contributors will be paid for a task once the task has been approved by a reviewer. Contributors will not be paid for tasks which are rejected.

There are circumstances where you may choose to issue payment for a task that was rejected. For example, you might choose to pay a contributor for a rejected task if the Instructions provided within the task were not clear. To issue payment for a rejected task, click on the circle icon next to the payment status.

By issuing payment, the contributor will be paid and the task will no longer be counted as a rejection when calculating their approval rating. However, the task will still be rejected and completed by another contributor.
