File assignment

Trados GroupShare and Trados Studio work together to enable file assignments for projects published to a Trados GroupShare server. The file assignment process enables users to make files in an Trados GroupShare project available only to members of a specific role and only for specific stages of the translation process.

File assignment improves the translation workflow and enhances the security of Trados GroupShare projects files.

Trados Studio - Trados GroupShare Integration

Each assigned file can be set to one of the default project phases: Preparation, Translation, Review and Finalization. The naming of the phases can be changed in Trados GroupShare Console. Project phases indicate to the assigned users what their translation task is and show project managers the current translation stage of each file in the Trados GroupShare project.

For more information about managing assignments, see the Trados Studio 2024 Help.

You can organize the work on projects that you publish to Trados GroupShare servers from the GroupShare layout available in Trados Studio. When you create and edit assignments from this layout, Trados Studio sends the assignment information to Trados GroupShare.

Trados GroupShare then provides Trados Studio with the resources necessary for completing the assignments and shows this information in the Projects view > Files tab.

Trados Studio creates and manages assignments in the Files view with the GroupShare layout active, while Trados GroupShare holds and sends assignment information in the Projects view.

Trados GroupShare provides the entire infrastructure required to enable file assignments that you create in Trados Studio. Trados GroupShare servers support file assignment information and communicate it to the Trados Studio users assigned to work on Trados GroupShare project files.
