Questions?

I am not able to find an XTRF tag to insert the branch logo in document template themes, I can only find the branding image tag, but seeing we have several branches with different logos I want to be able to target those.

Has anyone else run into this before, and can help me on my way?:) Thank you. 

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations and experiences in customising XTRF Quote / Project / Invoice templates.
As far as I know, BIRT 2 and 4 can only be modified by XTRF and OpenPDF is the only format that can be modified by the user company, is that correct?

We have been working to customise OpenPDF templates and have had some success, i.e. templates that are working, but could do with more tweaks - but overall we have found it quite difficult.

Is there anyone out there / can you recommend someone who is fully familiar with Java, Velocity and OpenPDF and would be interested in doing some programming for us?
Or would you recommend that we go directly with the XTRF Customisation Team? Your experiences would be very much appreciated!

Many thanks and all the best,

Christiane

Hello,

We offer a system of awarding finder's fees to our vendors and other people who bring in new business. Can XTRF help us track these commissions automatically as a percentage of each invoice? The only solutions we can think of is to create an additional Commission job for such projects and calculate the percentage manually. I'm sure there's a better way than this clunky workaround!

Thanks,

Grigori

As a vendor for multiple agencies using XTRF, is it possible to keep a single XTRF vendor profile?

I work freelance for several agencies which use XTRF for their vendor's profile platform. Is there a way to connect/link all my vendor profiles to a single XTRF account so I can update them all at once and avoid duplicates and wrong info?

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"
  }
}

is there any possible way to search the parent task of my selected activty for a certain activity type using macro ?

not sure if activity.task.activities is the right approach for this, any ideas ?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to filter vendors that are off today. The closest solution I found so far is via "Availability by Productivity as Text", showing 100% for a vendor that is off or fully occupied.

My issue is, when I try to import this view to Google Sheets using the XTRF add-on, I get these kinds of strings for the "Availability by Productivity as Text" column:

{jobsDetailsUrl=https:/allintranslations.s.xtrf.eu/home-api/availability/providers/2/for/${time}, numberOfDays=14.0, timeWindowStart=30-Oct-2022, days=[Ljava.lang.Object;@6e9f500b, timeWindowEnd=15-Nov-2022}

Instead of the kind of values I get if I export CSV manually: 31-Oct-2022 / 0%

Any clues are appreciated!

Hello,

My question is: how do others most efficiently get providers/translators to sign documents such as tems & conditions, work agreements, NDA's and also how to make sure that on onboarding they provide you with all of their necassery documentation such as CV, tax documents, educational documents etc. Is there a specific programm people use or some specific method simply to increase efficiency and organiztion?

Hi all,

We are looking into alternatives to ensure that vendor data is in line with our requirements during the intake process. We currently ask vendors to select up to 3 specializations and limit the number of language pairs so the quality of data entered is good. Since not all vendors follow instructions, this has triggered a time-consuming (manual) verification process on our end that is now part of our regular maintenance. 

Have you used macros or alternate tools for vendor data validation purposes? Are there ways we can have more control of the data that vendors enter during their XTRF onboarding? 
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Hi,

Is there a way to display an "Are you sure?" popup to the user when executing a macro, and only continuing execution if "Yes" button is pressed?
