  • Defining Languages
  • Defining Subjects
  • Creating User Settings Templates

About Online Users

You can set up Across users with the help of the User Wizard. The following instructions describe how to create an internal translator with Across login, who works within your corporate network.

This is how it works

  1. Starting the User Wizard
  2. Entering Basic Information and the Login Type
  3. Determining the User Type and Group Affiliation
  4. Entering Contact Details
  5. Determining Language Skills
  6. Determining Subjects
  7. Checking and Adapting Language and Subject Information
  8. Assigning Licenses and Saving Softkeys
  9. Finishing the User Creation
  10. Sending Translators Softkeys

Starting the User Wizard

wizards_user-wiz_01
  • Start the User Wizard in one of the following ways:
  • Click icn_wiz_user in the toolbar.
  • Go to Administration > Users and click New.

Entering Basic Information and the Login Type

wizards_user-wiz_02

On this page, enter the name and e-mail address of the translator. Select the login type Across login.

Determining the User Type and Group Affiliation

wizards_user-wiz_03

Select the user type Online user. Add the group membership Translator, either by clicking > or by double-clicking the group.

If necessary, select a suitable settings template in order to provide the translator with the preferred user settings.

Tip

The rights of the group that a user belongs to determine whether the respective user is permitted to customize his user settings. By default, a translator can modify most of his user settings.

Entering Contact Details

wizards_user-wiz_04

Enter all relevant contact details of the translator.

Determining Language Skills

wizards_user-wiz_05

Determine the translator's language skills. In this way, the translator will be available for the tasks that suit his profile.

With the help of the rating, you can determine the translator's language skills. During the task assignment, users with higher language skills will be displayed further up in the list of users.

Determining Subjects

wizards_user-wiz_offline_07

Determine the subject areas in which the respective translator may work. In this way, the translator will e.g. only see translation units from these subjects when translating in crossDesk.

Checking and Adapting Language and Subject Information

wizards_user-wiz_offline_08

Check whether the language combination, subject, and rating match. Under Properties, you can e.g. increase or decrease the rating for a certain subject.

Assigning Licenses and Saving Softkeys

wizards_user-wiz_08

Check the information and save the softkey or send it by e-mail. The translator needs this softkey in order to log in to Across.

Finishing the User Creation

wizards_user-wiz_09

Review the translator's contact details and finish the user setup.

Sending Translators Softkeys

If you did not select the option E-Mail Softkey when you generated the softkey, send the softkey to the translator in a suitable way. With this softkey, the translator can log in to Across and connect to your Across Server.

If you go through the example workflow alone, you can log out as a supervisor and log in with this softkey in order to do the translation.
