Administration > CP Customers > (customer)

If you use the Customer Portal to receive translation work directly from your customers, you need to tell memoQ about these customers.

Customers are organizations. If you work for a translation company, these are your clients. If you work in a translation department within a company, these can be other departments of the company.

Caution: Through the Customer Portal, organizations can send in work that gets processed automatically. Make sure you offer this opportunity to trusted customers only, and you negotiate very clear terms and conditions for providing services through the Customer Portal.

On this page, you can set up or change the customer's details.

How to get here

On the left sidebar, click the Admin icon.
On the Administration screen, under Customer Portal, click the Customers tile. The CP - Customers page opens.
In the list, click the customer you need to edit. The customer's screen opens.
