SDL TMS Inbox Advanced Technical Preview
Gain knowledge of the new capabilities delivered for an improved inbox management.
SDL TMS 11.3 ships with a new inbox that will be enabled for all users by default. Users can revert to the old representation of the inbox in the User Preferences section, under My Details on the top bar. The new inbox uses a grid control that offers the following functionality:
- Grouping by one or more columns in the inbox by dragging the columns to the grouping area
- For example, users may choose to group their Inbox by workflow step or language pair
- Searching all columns for text
- Sorting on all columns
- Intelligent column filtering based on data type
- For example, date columns can be filtered for greater than, less than and in range
- Selecting numbers such as word counts to get the sum, average and min/max values
- Saving the layout so that it provides the same experience the next time a user logs in
The new inbox page progressively loads jobs in batches, so there is no more pagination. The number of rows to be loaded in each batch can be configured through table personalization using the Rows Per Page setting. When loading large inboxes, a green progress bar will be displayed if the inbox is still retrieving data from the next batch.
