Report Types

Master Data Report (MDR)

Contains the master data of a project, including the documents and tasks that belong to it.

The project-related part of the MDR shows an overview of the project, the relation, the individuals involved, scheduled due dates, and the statistics that are needed for calculating prices for the overall project.

Dynamic Data Report (DDR)

In addition to the information contained in the Master Data Report, the Dynamic Data Report contains dynamic data on the status of each project and the progress of the assigned tasks.

Quality Management Report (QMR)

Apart from data about the overall project, the Quality Management Report provides information on the type and frequency of (pre-)defined errors within the tasks of a project, sorted by languages and in consolidated form for all languages.

WAN Transfer Report (WTR)

Provides all necessary information on crossWAN tasks in a well-structured report.

Apart from information such as the progress and the word count of the task, the report also shows the number of transmitted crossTank and crossTerm entries.

The entries are categorized like in the Grid Transfer Report.

Grid Transfer Report (GTR)

Contains all relevant information on crossGrid projects delegated to a Trusted Server. Apart from information such as the progress and the word count of the delegated task(s), the report also shows the number of transmitted crossTank and crossTerm entries.

• The entries are categorized as follows:
• Total: Total number of transmitted entries
• Created: Newly created entries
• Updated: Entries whose content, properties, or attributes have been edited, but that had already existed
• Not imported: Entries that were not imported because they had already existed and have not been changed

Edit Distance Report (EDR)

Contains information on the edit distance of texts across the various workflow steps. For this, changes that take place when switching from one paragraph state to the next are compared, e.g. from Translated to Corrected. Thus, you can see exactly which sentences have been edited (or post-edited in the case of machine translations), and to what extent.

Edit Distance

The edit distance indicates the actions required to get from the original version of the translation to the final version, converted into percent.

The document-wide edit distance includes all paragraphs, including those whose original translation has not been modified. For these paragraphs, the edit distance is 0 percent.

Calculation of the Edit Distance in Across

The edit distance in percent is calculated with the help of the following formula:

(100 x Levenshtein distance) / (original text length)

The Levenshtein distance is a fixed metric. More information is available e.g. in the Wikipedia under Levenshtein distance.

The original text length is the number of characters of the original translation including spaces, symbols, and elements.

Example

Here, the Levenshtein distance has a value of 2. The original text contains 25 characters.

The edit distance in Across thus amounts to 8 percent.

Comments Overview Report

Contains a detailed overview of paragraphs with comments added to a task in crossDesk. If you wish, you can also export all paragraphs of the task (i.e. including paragraphs without comments) and decide whether the user names are to be anonymized. In this case, User 1, User 2, etc. will be displayed instead of the user names.

This report is especially useful for review purposes and as an information source for users who do not have direct access to the task and/or to crossDesk, e.g. the author of the source document and terminologists. In this way, feedback can easily be transmitted.
