This is an old version of the article. Please check the actual version in our new Knowledge Base.

Process is the heart of the Project. It lists crucial information in a nutshell: the sequence of Jobs, dates, statuses of Jobs, and people responsible.

Find the 'Process' card in a Smart Project as the third card from the top, following the 'Order' and 'Languages' cards.

List of what can be found/set/done in this section:

  • Process template can be swapped only before the first job is started (or in case of CAT tool integration: before synchronization is initiated.)
  • New process Steps can be added at any time by clicking the Edit Process button and rearranging.
  • CAT tool specific: project template can be selected.
  • CAT tool specific: external project name is shown.
  • Operations from the Job Actions menu (available after clicking on a Job) are seen on the screen shot below.Job Actions in XTRF
  • In simpler one-language projects or when individual process steps contain just one (multilingual) Job, Vendors can be assigned directly on job blocks.
  • Jobs in specific language combinations can be shown by using the Languages filter:

  • When the circle in the Image 1818 automation button is green, it indicates that Automatic Jobs Splitting is on.
  • The top-right button on the card lets you Maximize the card within a Smart Project page.

Job blocks

The colors seen in the lower part of a job block help you realize what status the jobs are:

  • Dark blue - Open
  • Light blue - Accepted
  • Orange - Started
  • Green - Ready
  • Gray - Canceled

Small circles in each step contain initials or picture of the assigned vendor.

When there are more than 5 jobs piled upon one another in one step, then a number of jobs within a step is displayed instead.
