Editing an existing QA Model
The system QA Models (the LISA QA Model and the SAE J2450 Model) cannot be edited. User-created QA Models can be edited; if the model you wish to use resembles a system QA Model, it may be easier to make an editable copy of the existing model than to start from scratch.
Procedure
- From the TMS vertical sidebar click Settings and then Quality Assessment Models (in the Flow Administration & Automation section). Select an existing model and click the Edit button.
- Edit the Name and Description in each user interface language if needed.
- Select Apply to customer review if you wish for this model to be available for customers to review delivered project documents; if Apply to customer review is not selected, the new QA Model can still be used to assess providers on the workflow tasks they have performed.
- To add a new category, click the green + button below Add Category. To add a new severity, click the green + button below Add Severity. A category may be something like Spelling Mistakes, with severities Minor and Major. For each category, enter a weighting for each severity: using the previous example, a Spelling Mistake with severity Minor may cost the linguist 1 point, while a Spelling Mistake with severity Major may cost the linguist 5 points.
- Add new categories by clicking the green + button below Add Category. A category may be something like Spelling Mistakes.
- Add new severities by clicking the green + button below Add Severity. A severity may be something like Major or Minor.
- Enter a weighting for each category and severity combination. For example, a Spelling Mistake with severity Minor may cost the linguist 1 point, while a Spelling Mistake with severity Major may cost the linguist 5 points.
- Select the services for which your model can apply. It is possible a single model is not applicable to both translation and desktop publishing for example.
- Click Save.
