Overview of Ongoing Translation Processes
Switch to the the translation tasks sections of the request management (tab “translation tasks"). Only terminologists have access to this area.
The dialog box lists all translation processes.
"Read" and "unread" tasks
In all task lists, the buttons "Mark as read" and "Mark as unread" are available. Depending on the current task, one of these is always greyed out. Unread tasks are always displayed in bold, like in Outlook. By clicking the respective button, you can change the state.
A task is automatically changed to "read" when you select it in the list. With the "Hide read tasks" option you can hide the read tasks and only display the unread ones.
Sorting and filtering lists
The list can be sorted by clicking on the header of the respective column. This setting will be saved for the next time you open the list.
The list can also be filtered by typing a few letters of the desired content into the header. The list will then only display those entries that contain the letters entered in the filter box.
A second filter option is available for columns containing default content (e.g., status) by selecting one or more options from a pre-defined list.
In order to select more than one task, you can click on Select all. By clicking on Deselect all you can then deselect all the selected tasks again. Used in combination with the filter function, this makes it easy to edit the task list.
