  • Calendar on vendor's profile

    • Not Considering
    • 0 Comments
    Would be very handy to enable the vendors to report their dates of availability, holidays, sickness, etc. in WorldServer (via a Calendar) so that we don't need to write them down in a separate tool (or even on a paper). This functionality would enable...
  • Possibility to send mails to WS users

    • Not Considering
    • 0 Comments
    I would appreciate the function to send mails directly out of WorldServer to specific user groups. Sometimes you need to inform all clients about holidays or new functions. For this, one can use the announcement page/view on the start page but every...
  • I want to search by asset name

    • Not Considering
    • 0 Comments
    Currently, it is not possible to search by asset/task name. If I know the name of the asset, it will be easy for me to search the specific task in a project. Currently, I don't know which project contains the asset I am interested in. Thanks, Talga...
  • WorldServer should suggest a possible due date to the client

    • Under Community Review
    • 1 Comment
    Clients are not always aware of the work of a translator or what a Project manager needs to do. Due to this reason the clients are requesting translations within a tight schedule or with due dates that are not possible at all. I would request a page...
  • Lock translated files for the download until the translation has the status "completed"

    • Planned For Future Release
    • 1 Comment
    Some customers really look forward receiving the translation of their document. So when it is one minute after the due date they are downloading the translation. If the translation is already uploaded, my customers download a non-approved translation...
  • Possibility to make overall changes for every user

    • Planned For Future Release
    • 0 Comments
    The admin in WorldServer should have the possibility to make overall changes for every user. When writing this I am thinking about the same column structure or the user-specific or even Workgroup-specific configuration of WorldServer Transport. The...
  • Project attributes should also be visible at the project group level

    • Duplicate
    • 2 Comments
    Some project information has disappeared from the new Projects page compared to the legacy one. One important thing is that it doesn't automatically show anymore most project attributes. I suppose this is linked to the fact that the Projects page now...
  • Function of Perfect match same as Trados Studio Professional

    • New
    • 1 Comment
    Idea: When creating a new project in WorldServer, please allow the user to specify a past bilingual file and add the perfect match function. (This is the same as Trados Studio's Perfect match function.) Background: WorldServer has a feature for...

    • New
    • 0 Comments
    RWS to develop and provide to WorldServer Administrators an effective and easy-to-use mechanism to export old data from a WorldServer database (essentially from the archive tables) to files. An import feature would also be available to import back into...
  • Claim/Unclaim buttons for projects list view

    • New
    • 2 Comments
    This idea is for WorldServer 11 UI. In the Project Information view, the maximum number of tasks can be selected at once is 100. Since we often handle a large document that consists of more than 100 of files, we want to select and claim/unclaim all tasks...
