Reviewing a task online in SDL TMS

Procedure

  1. If this is the first task you have reviewed for a job, download any reference material held for the job (see Downloading job related reference material). Reference material is relevant to all tasks in a job; this means that you do not need to download it again when you are reviewing other tasks in the same job.
  2. Open the task for review (see Opening a task for a review online).
  3. Read any comments that have been added for the task.
    • To read task level comments, click Task Comments . The Task Comments box is displayed. When you have finished reading the comments, click to close the Task Comments box.
    • To read segment level comments, click the icon on the right of the segment. A comment box is displayed. When you have finished reading the comments, click Close to close the comments box.

      If the icon looks like, no comment has been added.

  4. Review the segment translations. If the task is at Approval step, you cannot edit the translations but you can comment the segments.
  5. Preview the translation (see Previewing a translation). When you preview the translation, a version of the translated file is generated for you to look at. This generated file will either be displayed in your web browser or you will have to download it for previewing in the application where the source file was created.
  6. When you have finished reviewing the task you can approve it, reject it or return to your inbox without approving or rejecting it.
    • To approve the task, click Submit. The task is sent to the next workflow step and is removed from your inbox.
    • To reject the task, follow the instructions on Rejecting a task page. You cannot reject a task without explaining why you are rejecting it.
    • To return to your inbox without approving or rejecting the task, click Inbox in the navigation tree.

      Tasks assigned to you will remain in your inbox until you either approve them or reject them.
