Questions?

When creating a project with a new vendor in XTRF, it will create the user in memoQ and automatically copy their full name, email, phone number, address, and password to memoQ, which is great except that we use a different naming convention for usernames in memoQ than the vendor's full name. 

This now means that once a vendor has signed up to the vendor portal, we have to copy their details manually over to memoQ, assign a new username, and then copy that username to the vendor's account in XTRF all before the project manager creates a project with the new user. It's an annoying process, especially considering that XTRF is capable of populating user details in memoQ. 

It would be great if we could simply assign a username in XTRF and then let XTRF create the user in memoQ with that given username if it detects that no such user can be found in memoQ. Currently, XTRF throws an error that no such user is found and then fails to connect that project to memoQ, even if the user is created after the fact. 

-Create a project with XTRF and memoQ integration

-Prepare a XLIFF file as source file with a cascading filter including XLIFF file prep and REGEX

The segmentation is incorrect and tags are not protected.

Is there any possibility to develop this integration further?

Hello,

For one of our clients we are interested in setting up a server2server environment in memoQ in order to facilitate cooperation on their projects. 

Basically, our client will be the parent and designate us as vendor to his memoQ project. So we wonder how XTRF deals with the project being created in memoQ first and if there is a solution in place for this constellation already?

Has anyone else already ventured in this kind of setup?

Thanks

How is everyone else faring with the newly rolled out 8.2.2?

We have come across some serious bugs (CAT analyses not connected to payables anymore, steps starting automatically even though they shouldn't). Are there any other serious bugs you have been experiencing? I think we need more eyes on this to be aware of what is not working properly ever since the latest release.

In classic projects I am able to configure specific notification settings per job step, so, for instance, if a File prep step is being done by the Current project manager I would be able to disable notifying the vendor, the PM in this case, that the job has started or has been completed.

I don't see a comparable place to do this in smart project process templates, or in the automation settings.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I am starting to look at smart projects and have been able to get my first step to send out job offers automatically, but how can I set it up to also send out any other job offers I may have included in my process template?

Consider the following scenario, I have a process template that contains Translation, Editing and DTP as job steps, and once I start the project I would want all 3 steps' job offers to go out. Currently only the job offers for Translation are going out. This means that in order for me to send out the job offers for Editing and DTP I would need to select those jobs and choose Send job offers under Job actions.

Is there a way to send out all job offers at the same time, like you can using the Request Sending automated action in Classic projects?

All the info I see in the knowledge base is related to when a job starts after a vendor is selected.

I noticed that I can complete all of the steps in a smart quote, including deliver of final files to client without ever having converted the quote to a smart project.

While this may not be ideal, I was wondering if this was a bug or intended. I do notice that POs are not automatically sent out in a smart quote, which makes sense, but I just wonder why this would be allowed.

memoQ server 8.6 contained some crucial bug fixes. Before we upgrade our memoQ server from 8.5 to 8.6, could you please confirm compatibility? I know that XTRF Development was still working on some bug fixes in the XTRF-memoQ 8.5 integration. What's the update on that front?

XTRF 8 introduced the possibility to delete Smart Projects. When doing so, you're asked whether you would like to also delete the associated project from the CAT tool (in our case: memoQ); see screenshot. We have deleted several projects with associated memoQ projects already, using this option. However, in none of the cases was the associated memoQ project actually deleted. This seems to be a bug. Anyone else experiencing the same?

I'm trying to display the external system name of the vendor in a Smart View but cannot seem to find the column name. In this case, this external system name contains the CAT tool (memoQ) user name. Being able to display this is not just useful for our PMs but also assists our vendor manager to ensure all active vendors have a memoQ user name assigned that maps correctly with our memoQ server. That way we could run a periodic job report that highlights all such active vendors w/o defined memoQ user name.
