memoQ online project

To manage an online project, use the memoQ online project window. This window is very similar to Project home, which you use to work with local projects.

In the memoQ online project window, you can do the following:

  • Import documents into an online project, assign them to users, and launch the project
  • Add participants to the project and grant them privileges
  • Add resources (translation memories, term bases, LiveDocs corpora) to online projects
  • Adjust communication settings in the online project
  • View reports and history from the online project
  • Check out the project to view or edit documents

    If your organization uses Language Terminal, and the project is connected to the Language Terminal profile of the organization, you can do more:

  • Calculate the cost of the work of each participant, and calculate the overall cost of a project
  • Check the availability of translators and reviewers when you assign them to documents
  • Get cumulative reports about your projects in Language Terminal

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

You need to be a project manager or an administrator: You may manage online projects only if you are a member of the Project managers or Administrators group on the memoQ server – or if you have the Project manager role in the project.

Different window if you are a subvendor: If another organization owns the memoQ server, and you are accessing the memoQ online project window as a subvendor group manager, you will see a different window. To learn more about that window, see its documentation.

Does not create online projects: To create an online project, use the New online project from template window or the Publish project wizard. Use the memoQ online project window to manage existing online projects.

Cannot connect projects to Language Terminal here: You need to connect an online project to Language Terminal when you create it. After an online project is created, it cannot be connected anymore.

How to get here

  1. On the project management dashboard, find the project you need to manage. Search for the project if needed.
  2. Click the name of the project.
  3. On the Project ribbon, click Manage. A new memoQ online project window opens. In most cases, the Translations pane appears automatically.

If a local project is open, you do not have to close it:

  1. In the main window, on the Project ribbon, click Manage Projects. The Manage projects window opens.
  2. Click the name of the project.
  3. On the Project ribbon of the Manage projects window, click Manage. A new memoQ online project window opens.

You may close the Manage projects window.

Online project opens new window: The online project opens in a new memoQ window. You can open several online projects for management at the same time. To switch between them and the main memoQ window, use the Windows taskbar or press Alt+Tab.

With manual control

memoq-online-project-on-autopilot

On autopilot (turns on after you create a project from a template)

What can you do?

Autopiloted projects show less: When a project is on autopilot, only the Overview, Translations, Finances, People, History, and Reports panes are available. A project is put on autopilot after it is created from a template. Resources and settings that usually come from the template are hidden. To turn off the autopilot - because you want to add another translation memory, for example: On the Online Project ribbon, click Turn Off Autopilot. You can turn off the autopilot, but keep the the automated actions running at the same time. Normally, you need to clear the Turn off automated actions as well check box, unless there is a problem with the automated actions themselves.

When you finish

To return to Project home or to the Dashboard: 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.
