   Empty model: Before you can use a new LQA model, you need to fill in its details. To do that, edit the LQA model.

4. Click OK.

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

To use an LQA model, you need to add it to the project before you import documents. A project can have exactly one LQA model.

To use an existing LQA model in the project:

1. In the list of LQA models, find the LQA model you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The LQA model moves to the top of the list. The check box of the previous one will be cleared.

If there are documents in the project: There is no problem if the existing documents did not have an LQA model. memoQ will add the LQA model to these documents. However, if some documents already have a different LQA model, memoQ will not change it.

Normally, memoQ will take LQA models from your own computer. However, you can use online LQA models from memoQ servers that you have access to.

To view the LQA models from a memoQ server or from a memoQ cloud:

1. On the Project ribbon, there is a memoQ server icon, or a memoQ server drop-down box. Click the icon, and type or choose the address of the memoQ server. Or, simply type or choose the address of the memoQ server if the drop-down box is there on the ribbon.

   

2. After you type or choose the address of the memoQ server, click the tick mark icon.

   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 LQA models from that server.

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

4. To use an LQA model from a memoQ server, simply check its check box.

No standard LQA models on memoQ server: memoQ comes with pre-configured standard LQA models - but memoQ server does not. To use a standard LQA model in an online project, share it first: Open Resource Console. Choose LQA models. Select the standard LQA model you need. Below the list, click Share on Server. The Share on server window opens.

1. After you add an LQA model to a project, all documents you import will get the LQA model. If you add an LQA model to a project after some documents were imported, the existing documents will get the LQA model if they did not have one previously.
2. Now you can review documents in the translation editor. You can give LQA feedback for each segment. To do that, press Shift+Enter to reject the segment. If there is an LQA model, the Enter LQA error window opens. Make your choices, and click OK. Your feedback is saved to the document.
3. After the document is finished, you can deliver it to the next person in the line - or return it to the previous person so that they can revisit the issues you point out.
4. After a document is finished - or after all documents are finished -, project managers can get an LQA report from memoQ, so that they can give structured feedback to translators and reviewers.

If there are too many LQA models on the list, you can filter it. At the top of the LQA models 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 LQA models 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 LQA model into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like LQA models, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export an LQA model:

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

   Or: Right-click the LQA model. 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 LQA model in the file.

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

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

To import an LQA model from an .mqres file:

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