Project-level reports and background tasks

Trados GroupShare reports present a detailed account of your translated files. 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 Trados GroupShare. The following three reports are available:

Analyze Files report

This report displays statistics and settings configuration for project at different stages:
  • Initial project creation report, which is generated automatically when the project is created.
  • Full report, which contains information on all the files in the project, including any mid-project add/update file changes.
  • Add project file operation/Update project file operation. This will generate a report based on the files added/updated after the initial project creation.

Limitation

Projects generated from Trados Studio and corrupted GroupShare projects do not include an Analysis report. Because of this, Trados GroupShare cannot generate Full reports for such projects. The reports will be generated automatically for individual Add/Update project operations.

Audit Trailreport

This 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

Post-translation analysis (PTA) report

Generate this report to get a detailed overview of your TM leverage and translators' effort on individual file. This is useful for checking the work progress on the file. When the project is complete, this report can help you determine how much each translator can bill for the project file. PTA is generated automatically as part of the Finalize task.

The PTA report displays the following information for each translator who has worked on the file:

  • number of translated words, segments and characters
  • type of match rate: Perfect Match, Context Match, Exact Match, Fuzzy Band, New (no TM leverage)

SDLXLIFF analysis report

When you use a translation provider that offers the Quality Estimation functionality (QE), such as Language Weaver, you can generate a report that indicates the quality of the translated segments. This data is organized into four categories: Good, Adequate, Poor and Unknown and is displayed under NMT scoring breakdown table. In the New Project Templatecreation wizard, you can select Generate SDLXLIFF analysis report, allowing you to choose if you want to include it.

Background tasks

Background taskDescription
Field propagation

When a field template is changed, 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 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.

Post Translation Analysis reportTrados GroupShare generates Post Translation Analysis reports as background tasks.
Delete OrganizationTrados GroupShare deletes organizations and their resources in the background. If the containing resources are sourced in a different organization than the one being deleted, only the references to these resources are deleted instead.

The background task details shows information on task duration and the IDs of every resource deleted.

Project Package Import and Project Package ExportPackages for working with Trados GroupShare projects in an offline workflow are imported and exported in the background. You can check details about each import and export and also retrieve the packages from the Background Tasks view.

Required permissions

All users can see the background tasks that they created.

Users with View Background Tasks permission also see the background tasks created by other users on that Trados GroupShare server.

Users with Background Tasks Administrator permission have access to more information about all background tasks, can cancel tasks in progress or delete tasks from the list.

View background tasks

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.

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