New Project: Creates a new local project from a template. Opens the Create new project from template window. If you need more options, click the New project label below the icon. A menu appears:
Next to the New Project icon, there is a box with the last used project templates. Click the name of a template to start creating a project from that template. To open a larger list of templates, or manage the templates, click the arrow icon at the bottom right.
Import Package: Imports a project package sent by your client. This can be a memoQ package, an SDL Studio package, an SDL WorldServer package, a STAR Transit package, or a TIPP package. When you click the icon, an Open window appears. After you choose the package file, a different wizard starts, depending on the type of the package. (Click the links in the previous sentence.) When memoQ imports a package, it means that it sets up a local project completely automatically - you will be able to start translating directly after the package is imported.
Check Out From Server: Checks out an online project from a memoQ server. This means that you will get a local copy of the documents you need to work on - memoQ will create a local version of the project, and keep it synchronized with the master copy on the server. Opens the Check out online project window. You need access to the memoQ server to do this. Along with the project, you may receive a license to use memoQ. The license will be available to you as long as the project lasts.
Publish On Server: Requires memoQ project manager. Copies a local project to a memoQ server, and sets it up for online access. Opens the Publish project wizard.
Clone: Requires memoQ project manager. Makes a copy of an online project where the settings, resources, users are the same, but there are no documents. Opens the Clone online project window.
Link To Customer Request: Requires memoQ project manager. If there is a quote request (or order) coming in through the Customer Portal, you can link an online project to it. Use this if you created the online project independently from the customer request.
