Сreate project templates

Use this page to create templates for your projects.

Project templates save you time if your company regularly works on similar types of projects. They provide a standard set of predefined values (client, languages, jobs, files, receivables etc.) for a type of project.

In other words, you don’t have to start all over again each time you need to create a similar project. After you build the foundation you will just have to add variable project values.

So first, go to the Projects menu and press the "Templates" button:

1000px

It will bring you to the Project templates page.

To create a new project template, press the "New template" button:

1000px

Enter the template basic data and press "Create":

500px

It will open the project template page.

You can also create a new project template by saving a project as a template.

Project template view

The project template page has the following tabs:

1000px

The project template tabs are very similar to the project tabs (for more detailed information, please follow the links in the brief descriptions below):

• The Details tab contains the project template details you entered during the template creation. You can update them by pressing the "Update" button.

• On the Files tab, you can upload project input files, if necessary, and view the rest of the files related to the project template.

• On the Jobs tab, you may assign jobs to your vendors (e.g. translators, proofreaders etc.).

• On the Finances tab, you can enter receivables from the client and view payables to your vendors.

Action buttons

• "Create project" - creates a new project based on this template.

• "Update" – opens the New project/Update project details page.

• "Delete" – deletes the project template. The system will warn you:

If you press "OK", all the project template data and files will be deleted with no option for recovery, so please be careful using this button.

Create project based on template

Having completed the project template creation, you may add a new project based on this template by pressing the "Create project" button:

1000px

All the template details, finances, jobs and uploaded files will be copied to the newly created project.

Then you will be able to set the project and jobs deadlines, add variable project values, and continue working on the project.

Update project template

On this page, you can update the basic details of the project:

400px

Confirm changes with the "Update" or revoke with the "Cancel" button.

Search project templates with filters

By default, you can see all the project templates in your database, 50 per page.

If you want to hide or display some templates from the list, you may apply filters.

You can hide or display filter fields by pressing the button in the upper right corner:

1000px

So, you can enter the data into the appropriate fields and press the "Apply" button, see example:

1000px

As you can see, the filter header turns red. It means that the filter is applied.

You may collapse (hide) the filter interface by pressing the 30px button.

Please remember the collapsed filter remains activated, and it is clearly indicated by the red color.

You can expand the collapsed filter back by pressing the 30px again.

Please note that the applied filter is remembered, so it will remain even if you leave the page.

To inactivate the filter, press the "Clear" button. The header color will turn to gray, which means that no filter is currently applied.
