Info
titleReminder

Keep in mind that some of the categories only include existing information. This means that:

  • if you want to be able to import comments to the system, you will need to include the field add comments, otherwise it wont be possible to retrieve that information during the import.
  • if you are exporting the hits of your project resources, they will all be displayed in a static way.

 

You are now ready to start your work out of the CAT Editor! You will find all relevant information about how to fill any specific fields of your file under the page <WORKING Outside the CAT Editor>.

 

Import

--- SCREENSHOT

To successfully import your project, you need to recover your previously exported file (filled with all the work you have performed offline).

Once you click on import, a  popup window will appear allowing you to browse or drag and drop your desired file. Remember to select a valid file in order to avoid problems.

Once the system has processed the files, a report with the changes will be generated. You may want to keep that information for latter use. If not, you can just go on and accept the changes.

The editor will be loaded with your offline work.

Set document as deliverable

--- SCREENSHOT

Choose this option when you will be ready to deliver your work and complete your job.

--- SCREENSHOT

A popup window will allow you to submit the work available in the CAT Editor to your Project Manager. Alternatively, if your task required external work and your Project Manager has set you specific rights, you will be able to upload a file and send it to complete your assignment. Either way, once you have submitted your file, you will need to go back to your job dashboard and set the job as complete.
