What can you do?

In the top right corner, click the Create new button. The Create project screen opens.
There are some things you cannot do in memoQWebNext. Here are the restrictions:
- You need to create the project with an existing template, or without one. You cannot create or change project templates in memoQweb. To do that, open memoQ, and use the Resource console.
- You cannot fine-tune the way documents are imported. You either need to use the default configuration, or choose an existing one.
- You cannot use project packages in the projects created in memoQWebNext.
If you need to use packages, or change resources like templates, segmentation rules, or document import settings, create the project in memoQ.
To learn more: See the Create project topic.

In the list, each row represents one project. The list gives you the following details about each project:
- On the left of the Name column, you can see if there are any notifications of Information, Warning or Error type in the project.
- Name: The name of the project.
- Progress: For each project, there is a progress bar where the color indicates the status of the project:
Grey means not started. Different shades of green show the progress of translation, review 1, and review 2. - Deadline: The final deadline of the project. This is the latest deadline specified in the user assignments for the documents.
- Size: The size of projects in segments, words, or characters. To change the unit (for every project): Click the Customize
icon above the list. Under Unit, choose an option. Click the Apply button. OR: Open your Profile. In the top menu bar, click Settings. Under Show translation progress (%) based on, choose an option. To save your changes to this section: Click the Save button at the bottom of the section.
- Modified: The date when someone changed something in the project the last time.
-
Languages: The project's source language, an arrow (>), and then the list of target languages.
Example: English > German, Hungarian means a project where English text must be translated into German and Hungarian.
You can sort the list by the following columns:
- Name
- # (project size in words, segments, or characters - the unit is specified in your profile)
- Created
- Created by
- Deadline
To sort the list, click the column heading. To reverse the sorting order, click the same column heading again.
To filter the list, use the boxes above the table:
To filter the list by project name, type part of the name in the box on the left, then press Enter. To stop filtering, click the red X in the same box.
You can also filter the list by other properties of the projects:
- Source language: Shows projects that have the selected language as the source language.
- Target language: Shows projects where the selected language is one of the target languages.
- Client: Shows projects that are done for the selected client.
- Project: Shows projects that belong to the selected larger project. This is not the name of individual projects. It is the value of the Project field (one of the descriptive fields of projects), and the list will show those projects that have the same value in their Project field.
- Subject: Shows projects that belong to the selected subject field.
- Domain: Shows projects that belong to the selected domain.
For each field, you can choose one value only. However, you can set several fields at a time. For example, if you type "localization" in the name filter (on the left), choose English for the Source language, then "memoQ Ltd." for the Client, memoQWeb will show a list where all projects have "localization" in their name, and are translated from English, and are done for memoQ Ltd.
To stop filtering for a field: Choose "- show all -" from its drop-down box.
To select a project: In the row of the project, check the check box on the left, or click the icon to the left of the project name:
