General information
On the Workflow tab of a project you can build chains of consecutive jobs by linking the existing jobs or by adding predefined job chain templates:
Both methods are described below.
Note: To be able to build chains of consecutive jobs within a project, it is necessary to specify language pair(s) when creating the project.
Chain existing jobs
To build a chain of consecutive jobs by linking the existing jobs, press the "Chain job" button and select the language pair:
It will display the Chain existing jobs page where you can drag and drop the jobs you need to be linked into the highlighted in green New job chain field:
Having done that, press "Create" to add this workflow to the project:
It will bring you to the project workflow tab where you should click on the job ID to open the job page to be started first:
Press "Start" on the opened job page to lunch the workflow, and the assigned vendor will receive the corresponding notification:
Then every next job in the chain will be launched automatically after the completion of the previous one, without any action of the project manager:
The output files of the previous job will be automatically transferred to the input files of the next job in the chain.
All the workflow participants will receive corresponding notifications during the process.
If necessary, on the Workflow tab of the project you can also add another job chain, break chains, and update jobs by pressing corresponding buttons.
Add job chain template
To add a predefined job chain template to the project workflow, press the "New job chain" button:
Then select the job chain template you need from the drop-down list, tick the language pairs you need, and press "Create":
You can tick as many language pairs as you need.
After that, you should assign every job in the chain to your vendors and set deadlines.
To do this, click on the "Update" button:
Then select the vendor, set the deadline and press "Update" to save changes:
After you have adjusted every job in the chain, click on the job ID to open the job page to be started first:
Press "Start" on the opened job page to lunch the workflow, and the assigned vendor will receive the corresponding notification:
Then every next job in the chain will be launched automatically after the completion of the previous one, without any action of the project manager:
The output files of the previous job will be automatically transferred to the input files of the next job in the chain.
All the workflow participants will receive corresponding notifications during the process.
If necessary, on the Workflow tab of the project you can also add another job chain, break chains, and update jobs by pressing corresponding buttons:
