Creating a job
This topic describes the main steps for creating a job.
Procedure
- Put the files to be translated into a .zip file. Place any reference files in a separate .zip file. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, you may prefer to create a number of .zip files rather than one very large one.
- In the navigation pane, click Home > Create Job. The Create Job screen is displayed on the right, comprising several tabs which you need to fill in.
Note: You can also reach the Create Job screen by clicking Projects > Create Job.
- Enter data into the mandatory tabs: Job Details, Files, Languages & TM. Fill in the Job Details tab first.
- Click Submit to create the job. The selected files are now uploaded to SDL TMS.
- After the files are uploaded successfully to SDL TMS, an information message is displayed. To exit the screen, either click a link in the message or another option in the navigation pane.
Note: You can authorize the new job or track the job on the My Jobs screen.
