Resource Console: Ignore lists

1. Under the list of ignore lists, click Create new.
2. The Create new ignore list window opens.
3. Type a name for the ignore list. Choose a language. You may also type a description.

   To learn more: See Help about the Create new ignore list window.

4. Click OK.

   Empty list: When you create a new ignore list, it will be empty. To make it work, you need to add items to it. To add new items, edit the ignore list.

   On your computer or on a server? memoQ will create the ignore list at the location shown at the top, in the Server URL box. At first, it is My Computer: memoQ will create the new ignore list on your computer. However, you can select a server at the top, in the Server URL box. In that case, memoQ will offer to create the ignore list on that server - if you have the permission to do so.

1. In the list of ignore lists, select the one you need to copy.
2. Under the list of ignore lists, click Clone.
3. The Clone ignore list into a new resource window opens. It's the same as the Create new ignore list window.
4. Type a name for the ignore list. You may also type a description.

   To learn more: See Help about the Create new ignore list window.

5. Click OK.

Normally, memoQ will show ignore lists from your own computer. However, you can manage online ignore lists from memoQ servers that you have access to.

To view the ignore lists from a memoQ server or from a memoQ cloud subscription:

1. At the top of the Resource console window, there is a Server URL drop-down box. Type or choose the address of the memoQ server.
2. After you type or choose the address of the memoQ server, click Select.

   You may need to log in to the memoQ server: If you have not used the server before, the Log in to server window opens. Type your user name and password for that server, and click OK.

3. memoQ will show the ignore lists from that server and from your computer (those never disappear).

   Online ignore lists have the cloud or the sun icon, and the server is shown next to them:

The sun icon means that your computer has automatically downloaded the ignore list, so that it can be used in a project without delay.

You must have permission for the ignore lists: It is not enough to have access to the memoQ server. To use an ignore list, you need at least Use permission over the ignore list itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ server.

Now you can create or edit ignore lists on the server, or perform other actions on them. You need permissions over the ignore lists to do so.

Normally, memoQ shows online ignore lists only if their server is selected in the Server URL box.

Hovewer, if you frequently use an ignore list, you can pin it to the list. To pin an online ignore list to the list, click the empty cell at the left of its row:

When an ignore list is pinned to the list, it shows a pin in that cell:

When you select another server or My Computer in the Server URL box, the pinned ignore list remains on the list.

If there are too many ignore lists on the list, you can filter the list. At the top of the Ignore lists tab, there is a Language drop-down box and a Name/description box.

In the Language drop-down box, choose a language. Type a word or two in the Name/description box. It will narrow the list immediately to those ignore lists of the selected language or to those that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail or another: Click the column 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 ignore list into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like ignore lists, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export an ignore list:

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

   Or: Right-click the ignore list. 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 ignore list in the file.

   You can also import an ignore list from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new ignore list.

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

To import an ignore list from an .mqres file:

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

After you put together an ignore list on your computer, you can share them on a memoQ server that you have access to.

1. In the Server URL box, choose the server. Click Select. Log in to the server if necessary.
2. Find the local ignore list on the list. Select it.

   A local ignore list is marked by a computer icon.

3. At the bottom, click Share on Server. The Share resource on server window opens.
4. You may choose a different name for the online copy of the ignore list, and you may also delete the local ignore list after it is shared. Make your choices, and click OK.

   memoQ will copy the ignore list to the selected server, and make it available there, with the default permissions.

To remove an ignore list from a server:

1. In the Server URL box, choose the server. Click Select. Log in to the server if necessary.
2. In the list, find the ignore list you need to remove. Select it.
3. At the bottom, click Remove from server. The Remove ignore list from server window opens.

   This command will not simply remove the ignore list from the server: it will copy the ignore list to your computer.

4. You may choose a different name for the local copy of the ignore list, and you may also keep the online ignore list after it is "removed". Make your choices, and click OK.

   memoQ will copy the ignore list to your computer.

Online ignore lists are normally published. This means that they are accessible through the memoQ server.

However, you can unpublish an ignore list:

1. In the Server URL box, choose the server. Click Select. Log in to the server if necessary.
2. Find the ignore list on the list.
3. Right-click the ignore list, and choose Unpublish.

   After you unpublish an ignore list, it will still be stored on the server, but it will not be accessible. Users cannot use it in projects. To publish it again, right-click it, and choose Publish.

Admin permission needed: To change the permissions over an ignore list, you need the Admin permission over it.

To change who can do what with an online ignore list, do this:

1. In the Server URL box, choose the server. Click Select. Log in to the server if necessary.
2. Find the ignore list on the list. Select it.
3. At the bottom, click Set Permissions. The Permissions window opens.
4. Choose the users or groups who can access the ignore list, and set their access levels. Add an expiry date to each permission if necessary. Click OK.
