Join jobs in the same project
Files within one project can be either split or joined. Once a file is split, it cannot be undone, but a group of files can be viewed together in the editor if joined. Joining files can be useful if a number of small related jobs in a workflow step share the same target and source languages and are worked on together.
Note
Joining more than 100 files (or files containing more than 40,000 segments) at a time may cause performance issues.
To join files and display multiple jobs in a single view, follow these steps:
CAT desktop editor
-
From the jobs table, select the jobs to be joined.
-
Click Download and select file type.
The window opens.
-
Change file if required.
-
Select .
-
Click Download.
The file will be downloaded to the system where it can be opened with the editor.
Each job is separated in the file with a bar indicating job number and filename.
CAT web editor
-
From the jobs table, select the jobs to be joined.
Tip
To select and open all jobs of a project at once, click the checkbox at the top of the jobs table to display the relevant option:
-
Click on a filename of the selected jobs.
All selected jobs are opened in the editor and are separated with a bar indicating job number and filename.
To join smaller parts of a split file and export the completed target file, follow these steps:
-
From the jobs table, select the job(s) to be exported.
-
Click Download and select type.
The target file will be downloaded to the system from all the split jobs. Completed files download as one file, not multiple smaller ones.
Join jobs across projects
In addition to joining jobs within a single project, it is also possible to join jobs from different projects. This option is supported only in the CAT web editor by constructing a URL that combines job UIDs. All jobs must share the same source and target language combination.
To join files and display multiple jobs in a single view, follow these steps:
-
Copy the job UID of each job to be included.
The job UID is the unique identifier at the end of the job’s URL.
-
Construct a URL that lists the job UIDs, separated by dashes (e.g.
https://cloud.memsource.com/web/job/UID1-UID2-UID3). -
Open the constructed URL in the Web browser.
The joined jobs from different projects are displayed in the CAT web editor and are separated with a bar indicating job number and filename.
Translation memory (TM) and term base (TB) matching in the CAT pane as well as concordance search are supported on cross-project joined jobs:
-
TM/TB matches for a segment will be sourced from the TMs/TBs of the specific project to which the active job belongs, rather than defaulting to the first project for all segments.
The job resources panel in the CAT web editor will display all resources across bundled projects.
-
Concordance search results will be retrieved based on the active segment, using resources from the specific project to which the active job belongs (not from all projects).
If no segment is active, resources from the first project will be used for concordance search.
