  • Reactivate a completed project in WorldServer

    • 9 Comments
    In TeamWorks it was possible to reactivate a completed project, for example if it was completed by mistake. In WorldServer it is impossible to do so, and the translated SDLXLIFF cannot be integrated in a new project nearly as easily, either. Also, sometimes...

    It would be nice if, once a project is already created, it were possible to update the name of the project, in case something changes. A possible change could be adding the words Test or DNU. It may be desirable to leave the project in production for...

    Translators would love to be able to bundle jobs when exporting and importing so that, for example, you can group jobs for a specific content and work on them as a single project, including delivery. :)

    Would be handy to be able to reopen an archived (completed) project instead of creating a new one (to add new locales, new source files, etc.).

    Would be very handy to enable users to communicate between themselves. Could be a translator contacting the project manager or the project creator to submit some queries about the translation. Some competitors already offer this type of useful functionality...

  • Proper search function

    • 2 Comments
    The filter functionality offers the possibility to launch searches on projects. However, searching with the filter functionality is time-consuming, not really intuitive nor user-friendly. Moreover, once you are ready with your search, your need to reset...

  • Possibility to use a project type for more than one source locale

    • Not Considering on
    • 1 Comment
    For each source locale you want to propose to project creators, you need to have a corresponding project type. Often, the project types for various locales are identical, except for the source locale. It would be good if one could create one project type...

    • Idea Delivered on
    • 2 Comments
    In version 10 of WorldServer, the "Step View" option enabled you to filter tasks by the stage they were at. This way, a project manager could filter out and "Complete" (ie submit) the tasks assigned to him/her, distinguishing them from the tasks still...

    Under Management > Administration > Notification Content a number of variables ('Parameters') are available to be used in the body text of the email (header, task summary and footer). Unfortunately, the subject of the notification mails is always the...

    Please add Step as an available column in the Assignments > Project view, under Choose columns. Right now, to see the status of each language I have to open the task or open the Tree view and expand each language which is a lot of clicks.
