memoQ online project - Reports pane

The Reports pane of the memoQ online project window shows various reports about the project.

  • A progress report is an overview how much of a project is done. It gives you a breakdown by segment status. In a multilingual project, you can run a progress report for all target languages or a single target language.
  • An analysis report counts words, characters, and segments in the source text of the whole project. Looks up every segment in the translation memories and LiveDocs corpora, and counts the different types of matches. You run this report when you prepare a project. It is often run automatically, especially from projects created from a template.
  • A post-translation analysis (PTA) report shows savings that you have achieved on TM and LiveDocs match rates – after translation is complete. Normal analysis "predicts" how much you could save on translation memory matches. Post-translation analysis gives you the actual savings. Post-translation analysis is for finding out how much each translator can bill. You run this report after a project is delivered, or when at least one translator delivered all their work.
  • An edit distance report shows how much work was done on a project - by a translator or a reviewer. It doesn't show the time spent on the project. For that, there is the editing time report. An edit distance report shows how much existing translations had to be changed.
  • A reviewer change report shows how much a reviewer edited the documents with tracked changes turned on.

memoQ can generate several reports of the same type. When the project changes, you can get new reports that show the most up-to-date status of the project.

Requires memoQ project manager: You need the project manager edition of memoQ to manage online projects.

You need to be a project manager or an administrator: You may manage online projects only if you are a member of the Project managers or Administrators group on the memoQ TMS – or if you have the Project manager role in the project.

Different window if you are a subvendor: If another organization owns the memoQ TMS, and you are accessing the memoQ online project window as a subvendor group manager, you will see a different window. To learn more about that window, see its documentation.

How to get here

First, open an online project for management:

  1. On the project management dashboard, find the project you need to manage. Use the search bar if needed.
  2. Double-click the project name, or click it, and on the Project ribbon, click Manage Manage icon. A new memoQ online project window opens.
  3. On the left, click the Reports icon. The Reports pane appears.

What can you do?

In the top right corner of the memoQ online project window, you can choose one target language from the Target language drop-down list:

  • If you choose a target language, the Reports pane shows the numbers for that target language only (the numbers are pre-calculated, and show up immediately when you choose the language).
  • If you choose All languages, the Reports pane shows the sums of the numbers.

    In addition, you can choose the unit in which the numbers will appear. Normally, memoQ uses Words. Under Options, you can switch to Characters or Segments: Click the corresponding radio button. Always use the unit that you also use for billing (finances) in the project.

A progress report is an overview how much of a project is done. It gives you a breakdown by segment status. In a multilingual project, you can run a progress report for all target languages or a single target language.

When you finish

Or, to return to Project home or to the Dashboard: Close the memoQ online project window. Before that, make sure you save your changes.

When you make changes to an online project, the changes will happen on memoQ TMS, not on your computer. It is possible that several users make changes to the project at the same time.

Some changes are not saved automatically. When there are changes you need to save, the green tick mark icon at the top left will become orange:

icon_online_proj_save_changes

To save changes to the online project, click this button.

To get the changes that others made to the online project, click this button:

icon_online_proj_refresh_from_server

Make sure you save your changes before you click this.

Switch windows: You can open several online projects for management. Each online project opens in a separate window. To switch between them and the Dashboard or Project home (if you have a local project open): press and hold down Alt, and press Tab a few times until you get to the window you want. Or: On the Windows taskbar, click the memoQ icon, and then click the window you want to switch to.
