Questions?

We have some projects that don't work well with the available XTRF file categories:

Some examples are transcription projects, voiceover projects, and subtitling projects. It would be great to have the option to edit these, but we don't. Does anyone else deal with projects that don't fit these file types? Do you use the "Other" category frequently?

Thanks!

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to integrate a smart project in XTRF with Phrase

How can we edit the instructions content formatting and add images to it?

Hi!

My system is set to restart numbering each month and I would like to have it continuous, no monthly restart but a unique ID number and have it set to start from a 5 digit numbering scheme (eg 18256).

Can I use the same numbering scheme both for Quotes and Project? (eg Quote 18900 <Q18900> when is confirmed to turn into Project 18900 <C 18900>?

Is it possible to have a Project without a Quote with the following ID number (eg C 18901)?

Thank you!

Hi!

when our PM are working on a project they sometimes have to contact translators. At the moment it is very difficult for them to access vendor details such as phone number. They actually have to open another XTRF in another window whicht is very cumbersome and not good for performance. Do you have any idea how this can be solved? If for example we could just click on the venodor name from the project that you then see vendor details such as phone number?

Just watched the recorded webinar "Automation of the Translation Process" and had a few questions (possibly for Maciej):

1. Number of Availability Days does not seem to be available for the Select Vendor popup view, correct? This is a great feature I was unaware of and I can reproduce it on the regular Vendor view, but not where it would be most useful (Select Vendor view in actual project).
2. Job Offer page (hyperlink in Job Offer mail to vendors) does not show the Volume (source words) information that was entered to automate the approximate deadline. Is this a settings issue? The need for proposing an alternative deadline from the vendor side is already discussed elsewhere on this forum.
3. Preferred Vendors on customer level is very useful. Any way of ranking such vendors? In the real world, you will have a pool of preferred vendors by client, but within that pool a prioritization is needed to make sure 1st choice is contacted first before the backup candidates.
4. While there is the useful function to split a job, is there any way to merge jobs, e.g. that have been automatically split but will be handled by the same vendor (e.g. freelancers decline job and jobs are assigned to agency instead)?

We were using some custom fields on the Job scope in Classic Projects, now in Smart Projects, there is not such fields. And neither there is an option in custom fields to add them to the Process/Jobs scope in Smart Projects.

Is there a workaround or a way to use the custom fields in Smart Projects for the jobs?

thanks

We want to find an easier way for PMs to view vendor feedback when sending job offers. However, PM feedback (both qualitative and quantitative) is specific to individual past jobs. 

Our current workarounds include:

- a Vendor Feedback View we created in Projects > Jobs (PMs find it cumbersome to use this additional view when searching for vendors)

- Inserting a column for vendor Notes in the views PMs use to send vendors job offers (in Vendors > Price Profiles)

Are there any other ways to get vendor feedback into the view PMs use when searching for vendors?

Hello! I have a project with multiple files that are due on different dates. Is it possible to set all these different partial delivery dates anywhere in the system? I have my start and end date, but can't figure out how to set partial delivery dates. Thank you!

Is there a way to accept just one language in a multilingual project quote? Can I convert it to a project, but just selecting the languages I want to work on?
