memoQ online project - Settings - Export path rules

1. In the list of export path rules, select the one you need to copy.

   Mind the type of the rule: Always check the type of the rule in the Rule type column. File rules work when you import documents through the Import or Import with options command. Folder rules work when you import documents through the Import folder structure command. (You find these commands in the Translations pane.)

2. Under the list of export path rules, click Clone/use new.
3. The Clone export path rule into a new resource window opens. It's the same as the Create new export path rule window.
4. Type a name for the export path rule. You may also type a description.

   To learn more: See Help about the Create new export path rule window.

5. Click OK.

   The export path rule appears in the list at the top. Its check mark will be checked - it will be ready to use in the project.

Only on the same memoQ TMS: When you create a new resource in an online project, memoQ will always create it on the same server as the project.

To use an export path rule, you need to add it to the project before you import documents. A project has exactly two export path rules: one file rule for importing individual documents, and one folder rule for importing folders and subfolders.

Mind the type of the rule: Always check the type of the rule in the Rule type column. File rules work when you import documents through the Import or Import with options command. Folder rules work when you import documents through the Import folder structure command. (You find these commands in the Translations pane.)

If you do not make a change, memoQ will always use the Default export path rule for the project. To use another:

1. In the list of export path rules, find the export path rule you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The export path rule moves to the top of the list. The check box of the previous one will be cleared.

To change the export path of documents already in the project: Go to the Translations pane. Select the documents that need a different export path. Under the list, click Change export path. The Change export path window opens.

If there are too many export path rules on the memoQ TMS, you can filter the list. At the top of the Export path rules tab, there is a Name/description box.

Type a word or two in the Name/description box. It will narrow the list immediately to those export path rules that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail: Click the header of the column you need. For example, to sort the list by name, click the Name header at the top of the list.

You can export an export path rule into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like export path rules, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export an export path rule:

1. In the list, select the export path rule you need to export.
2. Under the list, click Export. A Save As window opens.

   Or: Right-click the export path rule. From the menu, choose Export.

3. Find a folder and a name for the file, and click Save. memoQ will export all details from the export path rule in the file.

   You can also import an export path rule from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new export path rule.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains an export path rule.

To import an export path rule from an .mqres file:

1. At the bottom of the export path rules tab, click Import new. An Open window appears.
2. Select the .mqres file. Click Open.
3. The Import new export path rule window opens. It's the same as the Create new export path rule window.
4. memoQ will pick up the name of the export path rule from the .mqres file. However, you can give it a new name, and type a new description, too.
5. Click OK.

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:

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