To complete the Review Project Packages page:
Procedure
- Select a package in the Packages box to display the package properties and contents in the right-hand part of the page.
- If you want to change the package name, select the package and enter a new name under Name.
- In the Assign to box, select the user to which you want to assign the specified task for this package. If the person to which you want to assign the task is not available from the drop-down list, click Users to display the Users dialog box where you can create additional users. See About Managing Users for more information.
- In the Task box, select a manual task to assign to the specified user for this package. For example, you may want to assign the Translate task to this package to indicate that the files need to be translated. If the task you want to assign is not included in the drop-down list, click Tasks to display the Manual Tasks dialog box where you can create new manual tasks.
- Specify package details:
If you want to... Then give the package a due date and time that is different to the project due date and time,
select the check box next to Due Date and select a new due date and time from the drop-down lists.
add a comment to the package,
type the comment in the Comment box. The team member who receives the package will see this comment when they open the package.
- Review the package content and make changes to the package as required:
If you want to... Then create another package,
click Add. The new package appears in the Packages box.
move files from one package into another,
select the package containing the files to be moved, select the files from the right-hand pane and either:- Drag and drop them into the required package, or
- Click Move to Package. The Move Files dialog box is displayed. Select the package you want to move the files to from the drop-down list and click OK.
move folders from one package into another,
select the folder from the Packages box and drag and drop it into another package in the Packages box.
remove a package,
select the package and click Remove.
add files to a package,
select the package and click Add Files. The Select Files dialog box is displayed from which you can select additional files.
Note:- This is useful if you want to add reference files to the package. Reference files are not automatically included in a package unless you had already explicitly selected them in the Files view when you selected the Create Project Package option.
- If a translatable or localizable was already added to another package as a non-reference file, it is marked as a reference file for the current package automatically.
remove files from a package,
select the package from which you want to remove files. Select the files and click Remove Files. From the prompt that is displayed, click Yes to confirm.
specify a translatable or localizable file as reference,
select the check box in the Reference File column for the file you want to specify as reference.
You can include the original source files as reference. Specifying a file as reference means that the package recipient is not meant to change the file but only use it for more background information.
For example, if you send out separate packages for each chapter of a book to different translators, you may want to send all other chapters to a translator for context. If the usage of this file is already specified as reference, this field is not editable.
- Click Next to go to the Additional Options page. If you have selected to include files in this package that are not marked as reference and that have already been included in a package and not returned, a warning is displayed asking if you want to include these files:
If you click No, the files are removed from the package and the Additional Options page is displayed.
If you click Yes, the files are included in the package and the Additional Options page is displayed.
If you click Cancel, you remain on the Review Project Packages page where you can make changes as required.
