Automatic reminder email and adding vendor groups directly in the assignment candidate

Hi Eugene,

I would like to know if such features are available in the near future:

- Automatic reminder emails to be sent to vendors/clients to urge them to take some actions (e.g. vendors fail to deliver the translation by the set deadline)
- Adding a vendor group directly (instead of indiviudual vendors) in the Assignment Candidates Section

Also, there might be some potential bugs here:

- In the Notification (spelling issue) list, when I create a new notification and click User field, a blank page pops up:

Trados Studio notification settings window with a misspelled 'Notification' as 'Notificaiton' and a highlighted User field that leads to a blank page when clicked.

- In the Assignment candidate section, when I send a Vendor quote request, it seems that the respective vendor does not receive any notification and the page for them to take the quote action.

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi Mike,

    I will do my best anyway. Currently have very limited time to do any changes, but could try.

    For this request, this is something which can't be easily implemented. As you notice, any notifications currently sent by TBM are triggered by some user actions in UI (saving an assignment, creating email, etc.). This request requires some background job which will automatically do something. However, IIS settings may prevent application from working all the time, pausing its execution when noone uses it, for example. In this case automatic emails won't be sent. But again, can try to implement this on next time working on an update!
