Lingotek tasks grid

Lets take a look at the grid. Here are displayed available tasks, if the row is grey this means the task is disabled because it was checked out for a user and you are not able to create a Studio Project with it.

Filters area

Click on expand filter button to see more options to filter tasks. All the dates displayed in the grid are shown based on user time zone. Please make sure in Lingotek web application you select the same time zone in order to see the same dates.

Navigation area

• You can select how many tasks you want to see on page.

For performance reasons we set the size to be 10 by default.  

• To see next / previous page click on arrow buttons. 

For performance reasons we cache the tasks for each page you navigate. This means if you already navigated on 4 pages when you click on "Previews" button the grid will be populated instantly.

How to create a Studio Project

Multiple tasks can be selected from the grid by checking the box and Right click on grid. they will be added to the same Studio project. Only projects with the same Language Pair and Stage can be added in the same project.

After you click on "Create project" action, Studio wizard for project creation will appear. The settings will already be filled with the language pairs and project files. Please make sure you change the project name. 

If you are using a custom template please make sure the language pair is the same with the file language pair.

After the project is created you'll be redirected to projects view from where you can see newly created project.
