Working with reports and background tasks

SDL Trados GroupShare reports present a detailed account of your translated files. SDL Trados GroupShare completes the actions which require a long time in the background, as background tasks.

Reports

Reports are available only for projects created in SDL Trados GroupShare. There are two available reports: the Analyze Files report and the Audit Trail report. To access the Audit Trail report, you must either be assigned the Administrator role or the AuditTrail permission.

The Analyze Files report displays:
  • Summary information at project level
  • Settings configuration at project level
  • File analyses in a table format
The Audit Trail report displays the following information per project file:
  • Actions performed on project files in chronological order
  • Details per each performed action: event timestamp, user, file version

Background tasks

Background taskDescription
Field propagation

When a field template is changed, SDL Trados GroupShare updates all the translation memories (TMs) that use the field.

Language resources propagation

When a language resources template is changed, Trados GroupShare updates all the TMs that use that language resources template.

Publish projects

When a task is published from SDL Trados GroupShare, the publication process in Trados GroupShare is a background task.

Re-compute fuzzy indexes Re-index TM

These are TM tuning tasks, started from the Translation memories view.

Translation unit import and export

Trados GroupShare imports and exports translation units as background tasks.

System

The system task.

To open the Background Tasks view and see the list of all background tasks for your Trados GroupShare server, select the Background Tasks view on the Home page.

By default, Trados GroupShare displays only the tasks that you requested. Check the Show tasks for all users option to see the System tasks and the tasks that other users triggered. You can also use the filter criteria on the left of the page to filter by keywords, task type or task status. To combine filtering criteria with sorting options, display the tasks in List View.

Trados GroupShare shows how many of the total number of tasks matching the filter criteria is currently displaying. If there are more tasks available, scroll down the page to load more task results.

Only users with View Background Tasks permission have access to the Background Tasks view.

Users with Background Tasks Administrator permission can also view more information about background tasks, cancel tasks in progress or delete tasks from the list.

Background tasks older than 60 days are automatically deleted, so as to prevent the failure of import and export operations.
