Project Server: general questions about the progress bar

Question

Hi, 
 Could someone from SDL elaborate on the progress bar in the project details view? After quite some weeks of testing, I have yet to grasp how the progress (in %) of the individual phases and that of the entire project is calculated. My assumption is: 
 the progress of e.g. "translation" is the amount of words checked in for all target languages in that phase divided by the total number of words assigned in that phase. 
 It does not follow Studio&rsquo;s behavior of reading the amount of &ldquo;confirmed&rdquo; segments. 
 How do you calculate the total project progress? 
 Can you share how these features were conceived? Are there any known bugs in the progress bar visualization? 
 
 Thanks, 
 Andreas

Hi Andreas, 
 
For the individual phases it's simply Total words - Rejected words. 
 
The calculation of the Project progress bar is based on the segment status of all files in the project by looking at (regardless of phase) (either when checked in or auto-uploaded). Also ApprovedSignOffWords has a higher weighting than TranslatedWords for example: 
DraftWords 
TranslatedWords 
RejectedTranslationWords 
ApprovedTranslationWords 
RejectedSignOffWords 
ApprovedSignOffWords 
 
Thanks, 
Luis
