Looking for key features in Business Manager Lite

Ryan Kelly

Greetings,

I am having a bit of trouble with my trial of Trados Business Manager:

Question 1 regarding only quantifying New/AT words:

I would like to create a profile for a client that includes only the NEW/AT for billing.

Screenshot of Trados Business Manager showing a table with totals and types of words including PerfectMatch, Context Match, Repetitions, and NewAT with their respective segment, word, and character counts.

So far I have the following in fuzzy types:
Screenshot of Trados Business Manager fuzzy types configuration page with a list of fuzzy match ranges and their respective rates and names.
And the following in fuzzy schemes:
Screenshot of Trados Business Manager showing an empty fuzzy schemes configuration page with a message indicating to select a scheme to display or edit the types.

I always seem to get both types of fuzzies, and I can't even manually delete the non-New/AT ones, because it will simply delete both of them.

Screenshot of Trados Business Manager invoice page with a red error message indicating a negative value in the 'Total' column and a list of line items per project.

Question 2 regarding line items in the invoice:
Typically clients ask me to detail each document that is translated in each line item of the invoice. I can only seem to generate a line item per project, not per document in each project. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks!

    Maybe, in it's worth to add an option in fuzzy schemes, something like Do not import missing fuzzy types. Because if fuzzy scheme does not include particular fuzzy type, but this fuzzy type exists in analysis, then skipping this volume could become a problem for other users. So, maybe it's worth to have both options - import or skip when fuzzy type is missing in fuzzy scheme.

    I have another possible solution, which doesn't require to add any options at all. Say, we add all fuzzy types to a fuzzy scheme (like in Default scheme). Then, set zero factor to all fuzzy types, except New/AT, which will have 100. Then, during project syncing/importing analysis, if average quantity is zero after applying fuzzy factor, such rows won't be simply imported to a project. However, this also not perfect solution, because sometimes we want to see zero amounts in invoices (for example, for repetitions).
