Time Tracking App for GrouShare Project?

Chie Schuller

Does anyone know if either Studio Time Tracker or Qualitivity will work for a GroupShare project? 

I'd like to know if either of the app will be able to capture the total amount of time that was spent (time spend by the translator, reviewer and also for the finalization). So far I tried Time tracker for the GrouShare project and seems like it only shows me the time I spent (as a reviewer) and I cannot see how much time that was spend by one of my translator for the finalization (I've asked her to use the app and select the same GroupShare project, and it shows for her file, but it doesn't show up for mine).

I'm fairy new to Trados/GroupShare and I'd like to find a way to capture the total time for the entire project.

I'd appreciate any comment on this or if you happen to know any other way (besides asking everyone to manually record their time), please let me know!

thank you,

C.S.

    Hi ,

    Both Time Tracker and Qualitivity will work with a GroupShare Project, but can only record the information on the machine that is running the app. So if you wanted to have these plugins on your machine and be able to track the time of others who don't have this installed then this is not going to work.

    So you would have to ask the translators to install the app and then provide you with the data recorded.

    Regards

    Hello Paul,

    Thank you for your response.
    I did have other translators use the app (Time Tracker) and had them record the time using the app., but I was wondering if it could automatically show up on my screen if I open the same project after they logged/record their time from their app.

    or do they always have to provide me the data/time they recorded in order for me to get the total time?

    Hi ,

    They will always have to give you their reports. These applications are desktop applications and there is no mechanism in there to share the data within the project metadata for GroupShare Projects. That would certainly be a nice enhancement though and the source code is available for both apps if anyone would like to have a go:

    github.com/.../Time Tracker

    github.com/.../Qualitivity
