Archived projects
Is there a way to 'disarchive' an archived project? The archiving process indicates that it is possible to modify the basics of a project (including Finances) but when I try to do it, the Finance section appears blocked. Or is this function available only for an upgraded version of XTRF?
Automatic Action - Fetch RTF
Hi everyone,
We are using an Automatic Action in our workflow, which automatically fetches Two Column RTFs from memoQ. The problem with this autoamtic step is that if you reimport the document in memoQ (to apply special filtes), XTRF loses the GUID of the file and automatic action fails.
Does anyone use this function?
Kind regards,
Peter
What is the best way to test BIRT templates?
We have been working on our own document templates which is going fine. However, the way we test them now is to upload them into XTRF and do a preview. This is quite tedious when we need to often test if something works. Is this really the only way to test the templates, or does anyone have a better way?
Reviewing New Vendors
I'm wondering others' experiences with reviewing new vendors. We find that going through the vendor data is a tedious process and requires many clicks, opens, closes and requires about 10 minutes to review a single vendor, just because of the various tabs and data formats that need to be clicked. We ended up hiring someone to only review potential vendors, enter it into a seperate database, which then allows us to review their data, and make decisions on who to reject, and who to follow up with.
This process is much better now than before we were XTRF, but it's still very labor intensive, very time consuming, and we do much of the analysis outside of XTRF. It seems to me that some interface tweaking, and with a few more features built for reviewing potential applicants, it could be much better.
What are other experiences with reviewing and managing vendors in XTRF? Do others have similar experiences?
SDL Trados Studio integration in Smart Projects - is it planned?
Dear all,
I am aware that integration with Studio is now only available with classic projects. Is it at least planned to be integrated with Smart Projects as well? If yes, which update/when?
Thank you.
Version 7.0 bugs... Question
When we identify a bug in version 7.0, is it being fixed for all instances, or one instance at a time?
And if we are all finding a few bugs here and there, should we all post them in one place so we can all look out for them and help identify if a bug is localized to one instance, or for everyone? This isn't for purposes of complaining, rather, I am afraid that I am not going to find all issues, and would love a little hive mind to help us all make sure we're not sending out incorrect information. Thoughts?
Can Vendors check their overall evaluation on Vendor Portal
Hi team,
Can vendors check their overall evaluation on Vendor Portal? Is this planned? How could they check their evaluation on Vendor Portal?

Customising vendor portal
Hi!
It would be very helpful if we could customise the vendor portal to our needs, e.g. we would like certain custom fields to show in the vendor portal. We would also like the option to disable the invoicing space for our suppliers for now.
Is this something you could look in to?
Many thanks.
How to add two default taxes?
Hello, I need to add 2 different default taxes to the System Values: Basic/VAT rates section. How can this be done?
Correct me if this is not right anymore, but it happens that in practice VAT and IRPF actually cancel each other out. VAT is an added tax, IRPF is a deduction.
Whereas it is impossible to define more than one tax rate on a vendor's account, the only way to deal with this is indicate the tax and the deduction it causes on the document template (PO or Vendor Invoice), so that it is shown on paper, but has no reflection in XTRF.
So in practice, our Spanish clients deal with this by modifying the document templates.
Display vendor specializations in smart view
I am trying to display the specializations of vendors in the smart view of vendors. I can get the Specializations criterion for the filter, but not as a column, which would show all the specializations of the vendors in the list. Am I missing something? Or is the column missing in this section of XTRF?
