In the task board, terminologists receive their term tasks from the terminology managers and can process them from there and forward them to the responsible terminology manager.
To the task board
You can access your task board via the menu item 'My tasks' in the profile menu at the top right of the Lexeri main menu.
The task board opens allowing terminologists to manage and edit the tasks assigned to them.
In the term request
As soon as you, as a terminologist, have been assigned a term task by a term manager, it will appear in the 'New Tasks' column in your tasks board.
Clicking on the title of the task will take you to the task details, where you will find detailed information about the term task. This includes:
- the responsible terminology manager who created this task and assigned it to the terminologists.
- the term database in which the terminology is to be edited or created.
- the language in which the responsible terminologist is to edit or create the terminology
- a free briefing of the Terminology Manager on the task
- the deadline by which the task is to be processed and completed
- the term editor, the area where you as a terminologist can work on the terminology for this task
In the task view, you also have the option of adding comments in the 'Discussion' area via the 'Write comment' button and asking the terminology manager questions about the task, for example.
The responsible terminology manager is informed of this and can then participate in the discussion and respond to comments.
Term request edited
You can start working on the term task by clicking the 'Start work' button in the 'Edit task' area.
The term task then moves to the 'Tasks in progress' column in the terminologist's board, from where it can be processed further in the future.
You can also start working on a new task directly in your board in the task preview.
The detail view of the terminology task opens.
The 'Edit task' tab in the navigation of the terminology task takes you to your task-specific term editor, where you as the terminologist, can edit the work on the terminology task.
The terminology is in a draft status here and is not yet available in the public terminology database, it will only be released there as soon as the terminology manager completes the terminology task on his board.
In the terminology editor, depending on the task type, you can add new terminology entries or edit terminology entries provided by the terminology manager.
Editing stored term entries in the term editor
To edit the terminology links enhanced by the terminology manager, select the corresponding entry in the list.
The corresponding entry view opens on the right. From here, you can now carry out the editing specified in the task, similar to editing the terminology directly in the term database, such as adding terms in a specific language or editing attributes of the term entry.
Add new term entry
If you have been assigned to add new terminology in a task, you can also add new term entries via the term editor. This is done using the button 'Add entry'. You can add entries to the task's term editor here via the entry forms, depending on the language for which you are responsible. This process is also equivalent to directly adding terminology in the termbase.
If multilingual terminology is to be created as part of this task, you may have to wait until another terminologist has added the required entries in the source language to the termbase before editing your task.
Complete a task
Once you have done the required editing in the Term Database, you can complete your work on the terminology task in your task board.
To do this, click on 'Complete work' in the task card in your task board (1) or in the detailed task view above (2):

The term task then moves to the 'Completed Tasks' column in the terminologist's task board.
The terminology manager is also informed about the completion of the task by email and they can now close term task and release the acquired terminology from the task in the termbase.
