If you wish to ask a question or send another message to a manager, open a project, switch to the Messages tab, and click Add a new message.

Type your message and click OK. Manager will instantly receive a notification about your message.

Additionally, you can upload more files to a project by going to the Files tab and clicking Upload additional files button.

Creating jobs in existing projects

You will see a file selection dialog where you can select recently uploaded file, and click OK. Application will create new jobs, and project manager will be notified about newly created jobs.

Downloading files

When a client receives notification in any form about fully or partially completed project, client’s user may go to the client portal and open a project (or it can be opened directly if project link is included in notification).

In the Files tab, user can find all source files and target files for each language. File manager provides information about work state for each target language. When all files are done, client can click Quick select button on the toolbar, select All completed target files.

State of all target files is indicated by a color and timeline dots showing a status of each file processing phase.

Then you can click Download as zip file, to pack selected files to zip-archive and download it.
