memoQ online project (subvendor)

In an online project, you may receive work for your organization, and not for yourself.

The online project remains on the memoQ server of your client, but you may assign work to others in your organization.

On memoQ server, your organization is called a 'subvendor group', and your user account is called the 'subvendor manager'.

As a subvendor manager, you can open the online project for management, using the memoQ online project window. Here is what you can do:

  • See the documents that were assigned to your own group, for the target languages they were assigned. You cannot see any other documents or target languages.
  • Add users to the memoQ server and to the project. These users will exist within your group only. The owner of the server will not see the names or other details of these users. They will see that there are users, though.
  • Assign documents to users within your group. A subvendor organization must take care of all the workflow steps. As a subvendor manager, you may assign a Translator, a Reviewer 1, and/or a Reviewer 2. Every user must come from your own group.
  • Run reports on the documents assigned to your group. However, you cannot view reports that include documents or target languages that were not assigned to your group.
  • View the project history for documents and target languages that were assigned to your group.
  • Check out the project to view or edit documents.

    There are many things you cannot do if you manage an online project as a subvendor group manager:

  • You cannot import or reimport documents.
  • You cannot add or remove resources (LiveDocs corpora, translation memories, or term bases).
  • You cannot change the settings of the project.
  • You cannot manage groups or assign documents to a group. You cannot slice documents.
  • You cannot launch or re-launch a project.

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

    You need to be a subvendor group manager: To manage online projects in this way, you must be the first member of a subvendor group on the memoQ server. The owner of the memoQ server can create this group and add your account as the manager. As a first step, the owner of the server will contact you with the login details.

Different window if you are an administrator or a project manager: If your organization owns the memoQ server, and you are accessing the memoQ online project window as an administrator or a project manager, you will see a different window. To learn more, see Help about the main memoQ online project window.

How to get here

  1. Log in to the memoQ server as a subvendor group manager.
  2. On the project management dashboard, locate the project you need to manage. Search for the project if necessary.
  3. Click the name of the project.
  4. On the Project ribbon, click Manage. A new memoQ online project window opens.

What can you do?

When you finish

To return to Project home or to the Dashboard: Switch to the main memoQ window using Alt+Tab. Or, close the memoQ online project window.

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.
