Planned tasks tab
In the top right-hand corner of the Planned tasks tab screen, you see a text field and the Search button. Use them to filter tasks, to find the relevant ones. You can search by a complete or partial project or file name, source or target language, role, or step name.
Linguists can open XTM Workbench, in read-only mode, directly from the Tasks tab by clicking on the relevant task. Alternatively, they can select the context menu icon 
and the 
Open XTM Workbench menu option.
Your planned tasks are displayed in a table with the following columns:
Project – sortable.
File WWC – sortable. This column is displayed if it has not been hidden by your XTM Cloud Administrator. It displays the Weighted Word Count for the relevant task.
Customer – sortable.
File – sortable.
Metadata – sortable. This column is displayed if this setting has been enabled by XTM Support.
Source – sortable.
Target – sortable.
Date due – sortable.
Step – sortable.
Step type – sortable.
Role – sortable.
Time – This column will be displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled manual time tracking for Linguists and if the Project Manager has enabled manual time tracking for that task in the relevant project workflow. If entering a time estimate is mandatory, you will see the warning icon
next to the time input field. In this case, for the project to be started, enter the amount of time you expect the relevant task to take you. Once you enter the value, the text field will be hidden and the task will be activated according to the relevant workflow.Segments.
In the top and bottom right-hand corner of the table, you see the number of pages. You can navigate between pages by selecting the page number, typing it in, or using the chevron left 
and chevron right 
icons.
In the bottom left-hand corner of the table, you see how many entries it contains. You can set the number of entries that are displayed on one page to:
