Project - Settings - Automated actions

If the project was created using a project template, this page shows the automated actions that run automatically at various points in a project. If the project was created without a template (or with a template but without automated actions), this page is not available under Settings.

On this page, you can see the configuration for each automated action.

How to get here

  1. Sign in to memoQweb as an administrator or a project manager.
  2. On the Active Projects list, click a project.
  3. At the top of the screen, click the Settings tab.
  4. On the Settings page, click the Automated actions tile.

What can you do?

View the project's automated actions

The list shows the actions grouped by triggers - the events that start an automated action. Such events can be when somebody imports, reimports, or completes a document, or wraps up the project (but there are many possible triggers).

You cannot turn the automated actions off on this page. To do that, you need to turn off the autopilot (see below).

To learn more about automated actions, see the documentation about editing project templates.

Turn off the autopilot

If the autopilot is on, you can see a notification banner at the top of the page. This means you cannot change the settings that come from the project template.

When you create an online project from a template, it will normally run on autopilot. This means that memoQ TMS automatically assigns translation memories, LiveDocs corpora, and other resources, and automatically sends notifications when a document is assigned or delivered. In addition, memoQ TMS runs automated actions when the template requires them.

If you want to add or change a translation memory, or change the notification settings, you may turn off the autopilot.

To turn of this feature, click Turn off autopilot in the top right corner of the page. On the Turning off autopilot window, confirm your decision by clicking Turn off autopilot. This action cannot be undone.
