Could not evaluate expression: PROVIDER_PREVIOUS_ACTIVITY_READY_EMAIL.

GGD 7 months ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by Ben Miller 6 months ago 1

In a project creating by converting a quote (I did not create it), automatic emails are not sent, even when I checked these boxes in Notifications for each task. There is the error message: Could not evaluate expression: PROVIDER_PREVIOUS_ACTIVITY_READY_EMAIL. How can I fix it? Thanks!

XTRF API - Adding Receivables to a Project

burg 1 year ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by Bartosz Budzyński 1 year ago 6

Is there any documentation that explains each property in the API Request aside from the Swagger API Docs for XTRF?

Below is the sample Request Body for adding receivables to a project, however, I need to know what kind of arguments to be passed to each of them as there is no explanation provided in the XTRF API Docs. 

Also, I need to know which are mandatory fields in these API endpoints.

Any help is highly appreciated. TIA.


Example:

1. id - is this the project ID or something else?

2. languageCombinationIdNumber - cannot find it somewhere in the XTRF Interface

3. type - where should this come from? 

4. calculationUnitId - where should this come from? (Not available in the dictionaries)

5. taskId - where should this come from? (Not available in the dictionaries)

{
  "id": 0,
  "jobTypeId": 0,
  "languageCombination": {
    "sourceLanguageId": 0,
    "targetLanguageId": 0
  },
  "languageCombinationIdNumber": "string",
  "rateOrigin": "PRICE_PROFILE",
  "currencyId": 0,
  "total": 0,
  "invoiceId": "string",
  "type": "SIMPLE",
  "calculationUnitId": 0,
  "ignoreMinimumCharge": true,
  "minimumCharge": 0,
  "description": "string",
  "rate": 0,
  "quantity": 0,
  "taskId": 0,
  "catLogFile": {
    "name": "string",
    "url": "string",
    "content": "string",
    "token": "string"
  }

Sending receivables

Meghan Cooper 2 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated 2 years ago 2

This may be a very basic question, but I've never fully understood: what exactly does it mean to mark a receivable as "sent"? Is this the main use of sending receivables being able to close projects automatically, or does it affect invoicing in some way? I'm particularly unclear on first point in the yellow box in section II here :

Receivable Status Changes Automatically to Sent

  • Please bear in mind that the receivable status set to Sent is a technical term. Any kind of notifications are sent to any of your partners.
  • It might happen that the statuses of all receivables changes automatically to Sent: This option is configurable while creating a Workflow Definition in XTRF Platform. When the jobs in a given task are finished, the receivable associated with it is sent to the client. Please mind that all default Workflow Definitions delivered in XTRF Platform are set up with the Automatically Change Receivables Status to "Sent" when Workflow Is Finished setting selected.

When a receivable is set to this status, has some notice actually been sent to the client (and if so, where/how to edit the notice?), or is it just a visible status for internal reference (meaning what exactly)? We had a possibly related issue a while back, where a team member was marking an invoice as sent, thinking it was doing the job of actually sending it the invoice to them, but in reality the clients hadn't received the invoices.

File sharing between Tasks/Jobs

Federico 2 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by Thijs Senten 2 years ago 14

Hello,

We have a project for which we create each month a Classic Project and we receive content daily, bi-daily, weekly, etc.

Each time we receive new content, we create a Task inside this Classic Project and add the special instructions (if any).


For the General Instructions, we add them at Project Level when we create the project and they are shared across all Tasks and Jobs.


The issue is with the General files we need to share across the entire project and never change during the month. We cannot find a way to upload these reference files at a Project Level to do it once per month or do it on a Template so the files are shared across all Tasks and Jobs, even if the task is not created yet when it does (like the Project Instructions).

Is there a way to do this on a Classic Project?


Thank you!

Volume of words/hours worked by each of the PMs

Sandra Lara 2 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by mark 2 years ago 1

Hello!


We are trying to get a view or report on the volume of words/hours worked by each of the PMs on their assigned projects.
Specifically we need the following fields from the Receivables panel:

We can't find in any of the forms where these fields are located in order to select them. Could you please tell us where can we look for them?

Evaluations set by providers?

Hello,

is there any way to request to one provider of a workflow evaluate another previous workflow job??

For example: asking the revisor to insert the evaluation of the translator?

Thanks

Number of files in a bundle

Magdalena 2 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects 0

Hello,

It would be great to have some kind of statistics that would show the number of files uploaded into a bundle, either by a PM or by a vendor. Once you're dealing with more than 20, 50, 100 source files it's easy to loose the track of how many of them were imported successfully to XTRF or whether the vendor remembered to upload them all thorough the portal. Right now there's no way to display that value even though it's possible to check how many pages/words/kb a file has. Having the extra value with number of files visible somewhere inside the bundle, i.e. next to "size" column would be very helpful. 

I'm aware that there are workarounds to check the number of files but they require additional and unnecessary workload. Also, having the summary of the number of files in a bundle is basics and should be easily accessible.

Recalculate Payables in Classic Projects

Monika 3 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects updated by Bartosz Gumuła (XTRF Solution Architect) 2 years ago 2

I would like to ask if there could be a way to recalculate Payables, the same way that Receivables can be recalculated in classic projects? 

Right now the only way to update Payables to reflect changes in the provider's price profile is to remove and add again Payables. But if there is such functionality for recalculating Receivables (on the project level), why can't there be a possibility to recalculate Payables on a Job level?
