Once at least one Translation Memory and Terminology Database exists within the system, you can then create a resource group for these items. This is much easier than manually configuring each resource to be used for a client or project in the system. Resource groups may be created for specific types of projects, to group resource per translation domain, or for particular clients.
For example, if you create a resource group for CoDyt projects in the system, then this group may be automatically configured for new projects or submitted orders in the system. The resource group, when configured appropriately, will be automatically used and updated in the system as work is completed.
The following sections have been provided to show you how resource groups are created in the system:
Accessing Resource Groups
To access current Resource Groups and available options in the system, cick on Resources in the toolbar at the top of Wordbee Translator. Then click on the Resource Groups Tab, as shown below:
Click on Add New in the upper right corner to begin creating a resource group.
Step 1: Enter a Group Name
The first step will be to enter a name for the resource group. To do so, click on the text field showing New Group and then type a name for your new resource group. In the example below, the resource has been given the name "Eng + French Translations".
Step 2: Select a Client (Optional)
A resource group may be optionally be assigned to a specific client. If you do not do so, then it can simply be assigned to a project or included as part of the new order form configuration.
To select a client, click on the drop-down menu and then choose the client you want the resource group to be used for. A Refresh Button is provided to the right of this drop-down menu as well.
If you assign the resource group to a client, it will be used for any project created for that client and cannot be used for other clients in the system or general projects, etc.
Step 3: Add Resources
Next, you will need to add your resources to the group. This can be any combination of translation memories and terminology databases in the system and more than one of each may be assigned to the group. To begin, click on Add Resources.
You may search for resources by name, type (translation memory or terminology database) and configure a filter. When these options are changes, you will need to click on Search to refresh the results. Then click on Select for the desired resouce in the list.
The resource will appear within the resources section of the form as shown below. To add another resource, just click on Add Resource and then follow the same steps.
On the right side, options are provided to change the current order of the resources and you may use the X to remove a resource.
Clicking on Details for a resources will direct you to the Resource Details Tab for that item.
Step 4: Save the Group
Once all resources have been added, click on OK in the upper right corner to save the group.
It will appear as shown below:
Additional Actions
Once a resource group has been created, you will be able to perform a few additional actions by clicking on Select or using the Down Arrow.
When you click on Select, you will be able to view the details of the Resource Group. To make changes, just click on Edit in the top right corner.
Clicking on the Down Arrow provides the option to edit, create a copy, or remove a resource group from the system.
To add a resource group to an existing project, please see the Adding Resource Groups to Projects page.
Additionally, a resource group may be assigned to each work selection option on the New Order Form and automatically used when a user places an order through the Client Portal with the option checked on the form.
