Import new light resource

memoQ can save so-called light resources in .mqres files. In another copy of memoQ, you can import this .mqres file into a new light resource.

You import a light resource when you import one of the following:

• AutoCorrect lists
• Auto-translation rule sets
• Export path rules
• Filter configurations (for importing documents)
• Font substitution settings
• Ignore lists (for the spelling checker)
• Keyboard shortcut sets
• Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA) models
• LiveDocs settings
• MT settings
• Non-translatable lists
• Project templates
• Quality Assurance (QA) settings
• Segmentation rule sets
• Stop word lists
• TM settings
• Web search settings

Use the resources in projects: In most cases, you import a light resource so that you can use it in a project. Always import the resources - and add them to the project - before you start importing documents. To add the resources to the project: Open it in Project home. Choose Settings. Choose the resource type at the top. Check the check box of the resource you just imported.

How to get here

1. Open the Resource Console.
2. Choose the type of resource you want to import. (See the list above.) Make sure you choose the correct resource type, otherwise you'll receive an error message.
3. Below the list of resources, click Import new.

   To import a light resource on a memoQ server:

4. Open the Resource Console.
5. At the top, choose or type the address of the memoQ server where you want to import the light resource.

   You may need to log in: If you access this server for the first time, the Log in to server window opens. You need a user name and a password to access the server.

6. Choose the type of resource you want to import. (See the list above.) Make sure you choose the correct resource type, otherwise you'll receive an error message.
