Access views directly from the Dashboard
It would be great to access a view directly from the Dashboard.
Is it possible to insert a project name into the Customer Invoice?
Can you have number of selected items (languages) displayed ?
Hi All
Would it be possible to have the number of languages we have selected displayed -ie a counter ?
For instance when I am compiling a project for say 24 languages -- it would be great if the number of languages I selected was visible above the selected items column. This way I will know if I missed one (or included one I didn’t need to)
Quote often the language lists we get from clients are not in alphabetical order (usually in tiers) so we have to up and down the available items list so could miss one if there is a long list of languages to be selected.
I do realise it will not prevent us putting in an incorrect language (English Canada instead of English UK) by mistake but having the counter there will help avoid missing a language altogether.
Thanks

Automatic PO/receivables update
Hi Team,
We normally create a project with more than 30 languages in scope, do you know how we could add Receivables and Payables automatically instead of adding them one by one?
I have checked and found that there are the same topics that were posted 2-3 years ago but it seems that function is not available still, unfortunately. Do you know when it will be ready? It would be great to have it in hand as soon as possible.
Thank you so much in advance.
Best,
Nguyet

Thanks

Is there a CAT Analysis import template available for non-supported CAT tools such as Smartling?
I am trying to get a Smartling CAT analysis imported into XTRF however as I understand, Smartling file formats are not importable at the moment. Is there an XTRF template I could use that I could fill in using data from a Smartling export? My objective is to avoid manual entry where I can so I would be automating the extraction of data from a Smartling export and into an importable XTRF template if available.
HIPAA Compliance
Hi,
My company is currently based in the US and some of our clients requiere for us to be HIPAA compliant, which unfortunately XTRF is not.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? if so, did you find a viable solution to become HIPAA compliant?
Production planning and bottlenecks
We are trying to find a better way of anticipating production bottlenecks and engaging more in proactive production planning. As an LSP, it is easy to limit oneself to reactive production planning ... and deal with the consequences. Being able to anticipate bottlenecks in production resources and cyclical customer demand would help to be better prepared.
Essentially, the new productivity view that was recently introduced could be a very basic form of doing so, if it wasn't limited to 1 week!?! I truly hope the request for longer time periods (best case: date range definable by user) has been heard. This would at least cover the number and size of past/current/future jobs of a predefined (via SmartView filters) vendor group. Another way would be to extract all relevant data via API and running a custom analysis on PowerBI or equivalent.
Any other thoughts (XTRF included)?
Client Specific Processes & Protocols
We have a medium-sized client that requires us to use a different work process than other clients. And, these processes require us to use file storage and delivery outside of XTRF. Ugg.
Question, does anyone know a way to set up flags or alerts that informs the PM that a client needs an alternate work process? Of course, we'll have training and onboarding for our PMs, but we don't want the success of this client to be dependent on our PMs remembering to do something unique for this client, and we don't want to create complicated work processes for all of our PMs because of the unique nature of a few of our clients. It would be great to be able to have flags in XTRF that are client-based that popup information for the PM, or allow for custom links to an external workflow, or allow for custom file sharing.
Any thoughts on this?
