Control center update for schedule interpreter and paperwork submit
March 21, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute
Schedule Interpreter form can now be used without showing the source language. For providers operating within a single country or single source language, form can be configured to display target language only. This simplifies the selection and speeds up scheduling process. In the same update release, new option to lock end time of the assignment has been added. The option eliminates the need for interpreter to enter end time, and should be used when time scheduled is always being used exactly at the estimated length.
