What is Auto Claim, and how does it work?
Members have the option to set claim limits for work they wish to receive on a publisher-by-publisher basis. Once it’s turned on for a specific publisher, and new projects are created for that publisher, you will automatically receive assignments without having to manually claim them.
The feature automatically assigns no more than the value you set, for the stages in which you participate (Writing, Fact-Checking, Editing, Reviewing).
The project manager configures the limits within the given projects, and the maximum assigned per user will always be the lower of the two settings. For instance, if you set your limit to 2, and the project manager configures the project to assign 5 items per writer (or editor), you would be automatically assigned 2 items. The converse is also true.
The settings are configurable by publisher but may also be turned on or off globally in the event someone wants to turn off the auto-claim temporarily without deleting any of the settings, such as during a vacation.
How to use Auto Claim
The Auto Claim feature can be found in the Preferences tab of the My Profile section.
Note: You will not see the Auto Claim option here until you have completed work for a publisher.
