We have heard a lot of feedback from our Worker customers regarding their experiences with the new beta Worker site. Workers have shared a lot of positive feedback about the new look and feel, as well as a lot of ideas and suggestions for new features and tweaks.

This week we would like to briefly share two Worker site updates that addresses some of the key pieces of feedback we received.

Changes to “Your HITs Queue” behavior

A lot of Workers have told us they didn’t like the way “Your HITs Queue” behaved on the new Worker site. When a Worker finished a HIT within the queue, instead of being directed to work on the next HIT, they would be redirected back to the overall list of queued HITs. We have gone ahead and changed this behavior so that finishing a HIT in the queue will bring you directly to the next HIT.

Knowing which HITs you already worked on

Many Workers accept and work on HITs that they find on the main Search page. Sometimes this results in inadvertently clicking on and attempting to accept HITs which they have already worked on. We have made a change that makes it much easier to identify HITs you already worked on by changing the color of the “Accept & Work” button:

If the “Accept & Work” button is gray, then that means you have viewed the HIT group recently. If the button is orange, then it’s a new HIT that you have not interacted with at all.

We appreciate all the feedback customers have sent and we encourage everyone to keep sharing with us.
