Creating and managing sub-projects
Only standard Projects can contain sub-projects.
Procedure
- Create any required, custom roles, for example:
- Coordinator—based on ProjMan
- Illustrator—based on Writer
- Illustrator Reviewer—based on Reviewer
- Mark-up—based on Writer
- Markup Reviewer—based on Reviewer
- Create desktops for the new roles.
- Create a workflow as illustrated in the workflow graphic.
- Create a main standard Project (the parent Project) and assign the workflow you created in Step 3.
- Copy all the data that is to be written, created, or modified into the this main Project.
- Forward the Project to the Translating, Reviewing (Translations), and Sub-Project Coordination tasks.
- When the project gets to the Sub-Project Coordination task, as the Coordinator:
Create two new (sub) Projects, one for text objects and one for graphic objects— assign the workflow you created in Step 3.
- Link-copy the appropriate objects from the main Project into each sub-project.
- Forward each Project into their sub-workflow. To do this, you must click the Show All Tasks option in the Forward window.
- Forward the sub-Projects through the rest of the tasks in the sub-workflows until they appear on the Coordinator’s desktop.
- As Coordinator, when the sub-Projects appear on your desktop:
- Post the Sub-Projects
- Delete the sub-Projects from within the main project. This will also delete the sub-project from your (the Coordinator’s) desktop.
- When both sub-Projects have been posted and deleted, forward the main Project through the rest of the workflow
When the Project is at the final End task and is posted, all data in objects that were modified in the main and sub-workflows are updated in the configuration.
