Working with SDL WorldServer 11.0.1

The new SDL WorldServer 11.0.1 brings about a number of new design features and functionalities introduced to help you better navigate through the application, perform tasks more easily and intuitively, and ultimately enhance your user experience.

The WorldServer UI has been through a process of radical redesigning in certain areas and now features a brand new Project creation page and an easy management flow. You can now perform the following operations from a single screen:

On the Projects page, you can perform the following operations using the ribbon:
  • Create a Project
  • Complete a Step
  • Cancel a Project
  • Import offline work

Also, you can:
  • Expand one or all Project Groups
  • Show the Project Group/Locale information
  • Show Tasks in auto-error
  • Show overdue Tasks
  • Show Tasks with issues
  • Show completed Project Groups/Project(s)
  • Sort descending/ascending columns
  • Filter data
  • Perform multi-criteria searches
  • Configure Table columns
  • Use pagination to navigate more easily
  • Open the Project Group
  • Open the Project.
