Edit template - People

A project template is for a certain type of job, often for a specific client. It's normal to have a fairly constant team working on these jobs.

memoQ can assign new documents automatically to translators and reviewers. But before memoQ can do that, it must know about a group of people to choose from.

In a project template, you can list users or groups of users. You can set a target language and a role for each user. When you create a project from this project template, memoQ automatically adds these users and groups to the project, with the roles and target languages you set up.

This is possible in local as well as online projects.

In local projects, you don't have a list of users. You just add names to the project template, and set the language and the role. From a local project, you send handoff packages and receive delivery packages. Translator's and reviewers don't work online.

Project manager edition only: You can't assign users and send handoff packages from the translator pro edition of memoQ. You need the project manager edition for that.

In an online project, the memoQ server has a list of users and groups. In the template, you can choose from users and groups who are already listed on the server. You can say if an user should have project manager or terminologist privileges, and if the user can receive a license from the server.

Need roles and languages for automatic assignment: An online project sends work to users on a memoQ server. On the memoQ server, make sure every translator and reviewer has their language pairs filled in. Otherwise memoQ can't assign documents to them automatically.
