SBET Document Type Assumptions

The SBET must be configured to list the appropriate document types as well as detailing the calculations to be used for the cost.

The document type assumptions import file contains the following information:

DocumentName
The document type, such as "Protocol", that is displayed in the list of documents.
PageCount
The standard number of pages for the document type. This is editable by the end user creating the estimate.
WordCount
The standard number of words for the document type. This is editable by the end user creating the estimate.
ForwardFormula
The customer-facing cost calculation for the translation of the document type.
BackwardFormula
The customer-facing cost calculation for the back translation of the document type. If the end user creating the estimate selects Back Translation, the cost is the ForwardFormula + BackwardFormula for that document type.

The cost calculations (ForwardFormula and BackwardFormula) can contain standard mathematical operators +, -, /, *, ( and ) as well as the following variables:

  • PageCount: the number of pages following potential modifications by the end user.
  • WordCount: the number of words following potential modifications by the end user.
  • PricePerWord, taken from the customer rates.
  • SitesPerCountry, entered by the end user.
