Main Approver: Special Functions
In quickTerm one main approver is assigned for each language. This user has two additional functions:
Main approver for source-language approvals
In the case of source-language approvals, the terminologist responsible can initiate a cascaded approval process. This means that firstly all "normal" approvers must cast their votes, then the main approver consolidates the votes and sends a summary to the terminologist.
For this reason, the main approver must always wait until all his colleagues have cast their votes where the cascaded approval process is concerned. For flat approvals, the main approver is a "normal" approver, just like the other approvers.
The functionalities available are identical to those involved in normal approval. For more details, see Approver: Special Functions
Main approver for target-language approvals
The terminologist is not involved in target-language approvals initiated by the translator, as in most cases he does not know the language. As the main approver you therefore have the final say. You can do the following with a translation suggestion:
- ▪
- Accept
- ▪
- Edit and then accept
- ▪
- Reject and request a new suggestion from the translator
- ▪
- Reject and provide the correct translation yourself
