Setting up a Project

In Across, a project is a structured framework for managing documents to be translated. Projects may contain documents of various file types. Each document within a project has a source language and at least one target language.

Use the New button to start the Project Wizard which will guide you through the creation of a new project.

Attention

By default, the size of the files that can be checked in is limited to 4 MB. However, a system administrator can adjust the size.

Naturally, the speed of the check-in process depends on the available Internet bandwidth and other factors.

Checking out Documents

Click Check-out button to check out documents with the help of the Check-Out Wizard. In this way, the documents will be available in their original format outside Across.

Reports

Reports transparently summarize all important information and statistics related to projects in Across. In crossWeb, the Master Data Report can be generated. You can generate the report using the Reports button in the Projects module.
