Assign Providers from a Template

Project Managers can assign providers (Linguists or Vendors) to each of the project workflow steps using an existing Project Template.

The number of workflow steps and the source language in the chosen project template must match those in the new project or the project template will not appear in the list. Target languages can be different, but at least one of the target languages must be the same. 

Assigning providers from a template will not overwrite any existing assignments. Providers can be assigned from multiple templates as long as the templates match the criteria.

To assign a provider from a template, follow these steps:

  1. From the job table, select specific jobs to assign providers.

    Note

    Providers can be assigned to a maximum of 100 jobs at once.

    Repeat this step to batch assign providers to more than 100 jobs.

  2. Click Tools and select Assign providers from a Template.

    The Assign providers from a Template window opens.

  3. Select a project template from the dropdown menu and optionally to Apply providers to just the selected jobs.

    A list of defined workflow steps and potential providers is displayed. Clicking on the workflow step presents provider details.

  4. Click Assign.

    Providers from selected template are assigned to the selected job(s).
