  • Make Field Templates exportable

    • Under Community Review on
    • 4 Comments
    When managing a large number of TMs, including file-based ones, we find that it is difficult to maintain the same field names and values across language pairs or across customer-specific TMs. In order to be consistent and to create templates "from scratch...

    • 0 Comments
    "SDL Editor Service" and "SDL Editor Service Router" services should be stopped when Online Editor is not used. SDL Editor Service uses 2GB of memory and SDL Editor Service Router uses 500MB of memory. If you are hosting GroupShare on any of the cloud...
  • Ability to clear all Assignees/Language in Project Filter

    • Under Community Review on
    • 1 Comment
    At the moment, Assignees/Language in Project Filter have all available assignees/languages ticked, and if I want to filter only e.g. three languages out of 24, I need to un-tick 21 language, while it would be less time consuming to be able to clear all...
  • Terminology approval / discussion on the fly

    • 1 Comment
    Assuming each phase of the GroupShare project is defined and both translator and a reviewer are assigned, the following scenario could make sense: - a translator find a very unclear term in the document, which needs to be discussed with the reviewer...
  • Project notifications for "watchers"

    It would be really useful if you could set a project "watcher" user in the planning of a project. This user(s) is notified about a phase change or about the completion of a project. There is a strong use case for at least the last option, namely "notify...

    • 1 Comment
    When multiple translatable files are selected, their phases can be changed at once. But if there is any reference files in the selection, phases cannot be changed. It should allow to change the phases of the translatable files even if there is any...
  • Allow creating Project Templates in the web admin panel

    • 0 Comments
    Currently just one irrelevant step prevents users from fully creating projects on GroupShare using their web browser - missing project templates. For some reason they still have to be created in desktop app, and then uploaded to GroupShare. IMHO, this...
  • Filtering options - "Publishing date" and "Delivery date" - in GroupShare web UI

    • Under Community Review on
    • 0 Comments
    In the Projects view in the GroupShare web UI, it would be great to have the option to either completely disable the criteria "Publishing date" and "Delivery date" in the side Filter bar, and/or to allow the user to make presettings for these criteria...
  • Create privilege "can read TM user ids" and implement a masking function "on the fly" for Tm queries during translation

    • Under Community Review on
    • 1 Comment
    During the normal work Groupshare registers the creation, modification and last use User ID for each Translation Unit. The problem is any translator can actually read other translators' userids while they translate. User ids often reveal names of...

    Hi all, when managing roles it would be nice if you could create roles based on the existing ones so you don't have to check all options when you create a new role that has some more or less rights than another. Regards, Bruno
