memoQ online project - Reports (subvendor)

The Reports pane of the memoQ online project window shows various reports about the project.

  • A progress report is an overview how much of a project is done. It gives you a breakdown by segment status. In a multilingual project, you can run a progress report for all target languages or a single target language.
  • An analysis report counts words, characters, and segments in the source text of the whole project. Looks up every segment in the translation memories and LiveDocs corpora, and counts the different types of matches. You run this report when you prepare a project. It is often run automatically, especially from projects created from a template.
  • A post-translation analysis (PTA) report shows savings that you have achieved on TM and LiveDocs match rates – after translation is complete. Normal analysis "predicts" how much you could save on translation memory matches. Post-translation analysis gives you the actual savings. Post-translation analysis is for finding out how much each translator can bill. You run this report after a project is delivered, or when at least one translator delivered all their work.
  • An edit distance report shows how much work was done on a project - by a translator or a reviewer. It doesn't show the time spent on the project. For that, there is the editing time report. An edit distance report shows how much existing translations had to be changed.
  • A reviewer change report shows how much a reviewer edited the documents with tracked changes turned on.

    memoQ can generate several reports of the same type. When the project changes, you can get new reports that show the most up-to-date status of the project.

    Different window if you are an administrator or a project manager: If your organization owns the memoQ server, and you are accessing the memoQ online project window as an administrator or a project manager, you will see a different window. To learn more, see Help about the main memoQ online project window.

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

You need to be a subvendor group manager: To manage online projects in this way, you must be the first member of a subvendor group on the memoQ server. The owner of the memoQ server can create this group and add your account as the manager. As a first step, the owner of the server will contact you with the login details.

Cannot see reports for languages not assigned to you: If a report concerns documents or languages that were not assigned to your group, memoQ will not show it.

How to get here

First, open an online project for management:

  1. Log in to the memoQ server as a subvendor group manager.
  2. On the project management dashboard, locate the project you need to manage. Search for the project if necessary.
  3. Click the name of the project.
  4. On the Project ribbon, click Manage. A new memoQ online project window opens.

    Then, choose Reports:

  5. On the left, click the Reports icon. The Reports pane appears.

What can you do?

In the top right corner of the memoQ online project window, you can choose one target language from the Target language drop-down list. You can choose from target languages that were assigned to your group.

  • If you choose a target language, the Reports pane shows the numbers for that target language only (the numbers are pre-calculated, and show up immediately when you choose the language).
  • If you choose All languages, the Reports pane will not show the reports. If a report contains a language that was not assigned to your group, memoQ will not show it.

    In addition, you can choose the unit in which the numbers will appear. Normally, memoQ uses Words. Under Options, you can switch to Characters or Segments: Click the corresponding radio button. Always use the unit that you also use for billing (finances) in the project.
