General Settings Tab of the New Order Form

The General Settings Tab of your custom order form is where you will configure the word count profiles, resource groups, workflows, project, and invoicing information for the user option.

Please see the following sections to learn more about configuring this portion of the user option settings: 

Settings

Within the Settings section, The Settings configuration options are where you will configure automation for word counts, resources groups, machine translation, document profiles, and general settings for errors, file uploads, etc.

It appears as shown below when nothing has been configured:

Word Count Profile

Within the Settings section, you have the ability to choose a Word Count Profile for counting the number of words per file and determining what will not be or is included within the word count. If no profile is chosen, then a Default profile will be used.

...

To choose a specific word count profile for the client for the option, click on the drop-down menu and make a selection. If you cannot find the right profile or one has not been created, click on View Profiles to see current word count profiles in the system. In this example, the Acme Word Count Profile has been chosen.

Additionally

Resource Group

Additionally, you may choose a Resource Group to be used for this option. A resource group can include memories and term bases from previous translations. These are then assigned as resources for this new project/order by the client and used for the new translation. By default, no resource group is selected for the option.

...

To assign a Resource Group, click on the drop-down menu and choose the appropriate resource group for the client. If you need to view the current groups within the system, click on View Groups. In this example, Acme Resources has been selected. 

Machine Translation System

Besides choosing a word count profile and resource group, you also have the option to configure a Machine Translation System (i.e. Microsoft, Google, etc.) for the user option. This is the system that will be used to pre-translate uploaded documents.

First the system will use the translation memories to pre-translate texts and then the Machine Translation System will be used to pre-translation translate any texts that were not translatable via translation memory. By default, no Machine Translation System is selected for the user option.

To make a selection, click on the drop-down menu and choose the Machine Translation System you want to use for this specific user option. If you need to view, configure, or make changes to this information, click on View Systems to the right of the menu.

Document Format Profile

The next available option to configure in the Settings section is the Document Format Profile. This is the profile that informs the system of how text will be extracted from the uploaded file(s) for translation for specific document formats.

A document format profile may contain multiple format formats such as Word, XML, PDF, etc. and text extraction rules may be defined for each.The client will be able to choose what file type applies to each uploaded file when multiple file types are present in the profile. If none is selected, then the system will use a Default Profile.

Uploaded Files Limitations

Next, an option is provided for limiting the size of files that may be uploaded for a client order. The default setting for this option is 500 MB per file and is the maximum allowed file size. The default number of files that may be uploaded for an order is 10.

These values may be changed within the Uploaded Files Limitations setting.

To change this information simply click on the field ; however, please note that the file size may only be decreased, as 500 MG is the maximum file size within the system.

Image Added

To change this information simply click on the field and type the desired value or use the increment/decrement arrows to the right of to change the current value to change it by one1. For example, if you want to limit the file size to 200 MB and only allow the client to upload up to 5 files, this setting would appear as shown below: 

Additional Settings

These additional settings reside within the Settings section and can be enabled or disabled by clicking on the checkbox next to the setting's description:

• Accept Any Type of Files - Sometimes the client will need to upload a file that is not handled by Wordbee, but imperative to the order. For example this might be a reference material or other item that does not need to be translated, but is necessary to understand or complete the order. In these situations, this option should be ticked. 
  
  
• Errors - Not Visible By default errors ar not visible to the Clientclient. This particular configuration setting informs the system to show error details in the internal comments field on the order. If it is not enabled, then there will be description no descriptive information when an error has occured. By enabling it, the internal managers, etc. are able to see what went wrong and correct the problem easier.

  Skip Counts & Costs Step Skip Counts & Costs Step

  
  
  
• Skip Counts & Costs Step - This is an important option as what is chosen here will affect later configuration settings in the Costing section on the General Settings Tab. If this option is enabled, then the client will not be shown a preview of the costs and the word count process will be skipped. This might be necessary in situations where you want to send a quote to the client after the order is submitted. When disabled, the client will be shown the costs before confirming the request. 

...

By deault, these settings are disabled (not ticked) in the form confiuration. If one or more of these settings have been enabled, the option configuration will appear as shown below: 

Work

The Work section applies to the initial status of the order and whether or not a project should be created when the order is submitted by the client. Additionally, you may configure the type of project, it's status, the project workflow, and other items to further automate this process in the system for new orders.The 

Initial Order Status

The Initial Order Status setting will determine the status of the order when it is submitted and in most scenarios should be set to "In Progress". It is set to "Request" by default in the option configuration.

...

• Request - The order has not yet been accepted. 
  
  
• Proposal - Used when you want to send a quote that the client will accept and is generally used in instances where applicable when the Skip Counts & Cost Step setting has been enabled (see Settings section of this page) . 
  
  
• In Progress - Recommended for full automation where the project will automatically be created, etc.

To make a selection, click on the drop-down menu and choose the status you want to use when the client selects this option on the order form. In this example, "in In progress" will be selected.

When ticking 'Start jobs', additional sub-options are displayed on the page. These options, (visible in the screenshot below) are aimed to adapt jobs and client deadline. Indeed, the desired delivery date of the client may be too long, or too short given the required work time estimated by the system. With the options below you can choose to shorten or widen job deadlines or widen the client deadline so as to align dates. The work time is calculated from the capacity specified in the selected workflow template and the word counts.

An additional tab appears within the option configuration for the project settings when a project will automatically be created in the system. These settings will be covered later on this page in the Project Settings Tab sectionare covered in more detail on the Project Settings page.

Costing

The Costing section is used to configured configure invoice creating, how to handle creation, handling of incomplete invoices, pricing, and additional settings for the submitted order.

Create Invoice

For the Create Invoice setting, you have the option to: 

• Never Create an Invoice - When chosen, an invoice will not be created for the submitted order when this the user option is chosen by the client. This choice should be selected when the Skip Counts & Costs Step setting has been enabled (see Settingsclick here).
  
  
• Create an Invoice - An invoice will be created based on one of the following conditions:
  
  
  • When One File Can be Word Counted - This is the recommended setting when an invoice should be created, as an error would prevent invoice creation when the alternative setting is used. If one uploaded file can be successfully word counted, then an invoice will be created.
    
    
  • When All Files Can be Word Counted - All files must be properly word counted in order for the invoice to be created. This can prevent the invoice from being created if a file cannot be word counted.

...

To make a selection, tick the radial next to the appropriate description. For this example, the invoice will be created when at least one uploaded file can be word counted. This selection has been made because the Skip Counts & Costs Step setting has been disabled (unticked). For more information about this configuration setting, click here.

Incomplete Invoice

The Incomplete Invoice setting may be used to ensure that an invoice is created even if one or more costs have not been defined in the pricelist. If this option is disabled (unticked), as it is by default, then a single undefined unitary cost will prevent invoice creation.

...

To enable this setting, tick the checkbox to the right of the it's name. When enabled, the setting will have a checkmark in the box with a blue background.
