When you configure the new order form (see here), you can set it up to be fully automated where the following occurs without intervention: 

...

The new order form saves a lot of time, because you get to configure everything upfront so that when the form is submitted, it is already taken care of in the system. When an order is submitted in this way for CoDyt Project and has been configured for full automation, it will appear as shown below:

As you can see from the image above, the status for this order is "Request"; however, you can configure the new order form to set the status for the order and the created project to be different. A cost is already present and the project has been created.

If the status is "Request", you will need to click on Send Proposal to send the cost information, etc. to the client. 

Step 1

...

If you click on the Cost Tab, you will see that an invoice draft has already been created and this is why the cost already appears in the order. The new order form can be set up to use a Word Count Profile, specified Pricelist, etc. to automatically obtain a word count, calculate the cost, and generate an invoice for the order.

Next, if you click on the Project Tab, you will see that a project has already been created for the order and it's status is set to "In Progress". If it is fully automated, the the following will already be done for the project as well: 

  1. Documents will be marked for translation.
  2. Costing and Invoice creation are done.
  3. Jobs will have been already created in the system. 

Note: Jobs can be created or even configured to be automatically proposed or assigned via the new order form. If the Jobs are just created, you will need to assign them to a supplier manually and manage the actual workflow of the project. However, as mentioned, this could be automated as well through the form.

Step 2: Propose or Assign Jobs

To propose/assign jobs to suppliers, click on the Jobs Tab and then click on Manage for a job. In this example only one job is present for translating the document.

A pop-up window will appear. Click on the Image Removed icon to choose a supplier for the job or to propose the job to a group of suppliers. Another pop-up window will appear where you can click on Select to choose an individual supplier or click on Supplier Groups/Crowd Sourcing to propose the job to more than one supplier. 

Once this is done, you will be returned to the Manage Documents & Languages pop-up window where you can enter a deadline, cost information for the job, and change the status. Click on Save Changes to finish.

Tip

If needed, you can also change the workflow and remove or add jobs to the project that need to be completed for the order. This can be done by clicking on the Change Workflow drop-down menu in the Manage Documents & Languages pop-up window.

: Finalise the Translations

For fully automated CoDyt project orders, the most of the work is done for you! After the job has been accepted by the supplier and the work has been completed for the project, all you need to do is finalize the translations.
