Besides having the ability to sort or view the details of task categories, you may also add new categories to Wordbee Translator for projects. The following sections explain the steps for completing a category addition:
Add a New Task
The first step is to Access Task Categories and then click on Edit in the top right of the screen:
Then click on Add New Task to begin creating a task category in Wordbee Translator:
This will open a screen for creating the task category, as shown below. In order to create a new task category, you must at least enter a Name, Code, and Sort Order.
Enter a Name
First, enter a Name for the task category. This can be anything you desired and should best reflect the task to make this portion of project configuration easy. In the example below, Pre-Translation Editing has been entered as the name.
Enter Code & Set Sort Order
Task categories must have a code as it is needed by the system to create invoices. The code cannot be longer than 5 letters and must be entered in all caps. In this example the code is EDITS. Additionally, the sort order must be set for the task category and this information determines where it appears in the task categories list within a project. The sort order has been set to 1 for this example and this task category will be at the top of the selection list within projects.
Enable Category & Additional Options
Additional options are provided at the bottom of these required fields on the form for creating task categories. By default, the new task category will be disabled unless you check the box next to the Enabled option, as shown below:
If a task category is disabled, it will not be an available selection in the tasks list for a project. Additional options include:
- Requires Documents To Be Worked On - In some instances a task does not require any documents to be worked on (i.e. interpretation work, etc.) and these jobs are created without documents. This option is enabled by default; however, it may be disabled if the task does not require documents to be worked on. Please note that you can still attach reference materials, notes or files to any job.
Work Refers to Preparing Source Texts or Document Only - Codyt Projects Only. This option should be enabled in instances where the workflow includes a step for preparing the source text or document before the translation is performed. The work is target language independent. Workers assigned such a task can edit the source texts or the original document. Upon completion the workflow then proceeds with the target language specific work steps: translation, revision, etc. If you place such a task after translation related steps it will be started only once all such target language specific steps are completed and in all the target languages.
- Available in Classic Order Form - Specify if the task is available in the classic order form. This does not apply to the standard order form.
