Using the default email
When sales team is sending CRM emails from client portal the system uses the default assignment@ which is used for doing assignments to the vendors. Can we choose to use the email of the sender instead? How?
I assume the information can be easily matched as all logged users have their emails.
Thank you!
Best way to map CAT ressources to clients?
We have translation memories in the SDL server (part of Groupshare) and we have also file based translation memories.
What is the most efficient way to allocate these workflow resources to clients in XTRF?
We want to avoid opening manually the dialog 'add workflow resource' for each client and each language combination as this would mean hours and hours (days) of work (imagine 10 languages x 1000 clients = 10,000 times opening a dialog).
- can we connect the SDL memory server and "communicate" the way memories are organised on the SDL-server to XTRF?
- can we batch-copy all memories (the file based ones) in a directory and on our XTRF server?
task or project workflow
I use XTRF Classic
We have regular jobs in one language combination, e.g. DE > EN
Which workflow type should be defined: task workflow or project workflow? In such a case they would do the same isn't it: Analyse + Translate + Invoice + Send? In other words, is a project workflow a requirement for using a task workflow?
Auto-accept Workflow Output Files
There used to be this option in Classic Workflow settings. Is there any way to toggle this now? I would like to not have to manually accept Output Files, because we have a dedicated Final Verification job set up as the last job on all workflows.
Hello Reinis. Currently for regular users, this option is available only through Multiple Change feature in Workflow Definitions menu.
From version 8.4 this option will additionally be available again in Files and Directories tab, as it used to be.

Weighted words when no percentages are applied
Hi,
If the CAT grid is like this:
How does XTRF get weighted words? It is more than total words, it makes no sense:
Thanks!
After the last update, job sorting selection won't keep applied
Create user in memoQ with predefined username
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.
Quote as rate card
Is it possible to create a quote which acts as a rate card? I do not want the rates to be summarised on the first page into one total.
How do I add the status "in-house" to a vendor that was previously a freelancer?
Hello! We have a translator in our database that used to be a freelancer, but is now an in-house translator. Is there any way I can select this category in her profile? Thank you!
