Engines for automatic speech recognition and machine translation were added to the system.

These are created as resources and assigned to tasks in the system. Engines will perform the required actions once the task they are assigned to is ready to start:

For a more detailed explanation of this functionality, please check the Engines manual.

Languages can now be added to resources as language pairs, instead of as just source and target languages, enabling more control over what tasks a resource can be assigned to:

Once enabled, populate the Source language (1) and Target language (2) fields. The system will generate a list of possible language pairs.

After saving, the selected language pairs will be added to the list and will be applied when assigning the resource to tasks.

The icon for Languages in the resource’s profile and in the resources page will change to indicate language pairs are being used:

The split task functionality has been completed reworked.

A split wizard has been added.

Tasks can now be split by either duration, number of subtitles, or split according to the previous task in the flow.

The split will also be reflected in the Toolkit:

Support for pivot languages has been added.

If used, the system will treat the first selected target language as pivot. The remaining languages will treat the pivot language as the source language to filter assignable resources and assign rates.

This functionality can be enabled from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings.

Support for supplier script has been added.

With a supplier script, a different script type (with script, without script) can be used for different tasks.

This will reflect itself in rate calculation.

From: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Defaults tab

A new option was added to the system: Change orders to 'In progress' once all pre-production tasks are completed

If enabled (1), the status of orders will automatically change to “In progress”, making it visible to basic resources.

Additional settings were also added to notify the resource in charge of the orders that the status was automatically changed (2). The standard task assignment notification can also be sent out for resources assigned to tasks within these orders (3).

A new option has been added to the system, enabling the user to check a resource’s availability or current assignments before assigning a task:

The calendar shortcut will open the Team tasks manipulation scheduler and show the selected resource’s current assignments and more resources can be selected and compared.

By clicking on “Assign (Name of resource)”, the resource will be assigned to the selected task.

This functionality can be enabled from Administrator > Web administrator > Settings, using the “Display the scheduler in the resource assignment” option:

It is now possible to send automatic notifications to resources if changes are applied to tasks they are assigned to:

These notifications can be enabled from Administrator > Web administrator > Application configuration > Emails:

In Administrator > Configuration > Settings a new system setting was added to determine if resources must enter a reference number when submitting a Resource report.

Additionally, entering a reference number will no longer lock the report or it’s items for editing, only submitting it will do so.

In order to improve the page’s performance, the data shown in the page will be recalculated every morning automatically at 6 AM (system time).

The option “Run now” will recalculate all data on demand and can be performed every 5 minutes.

In the above tabs, the duration was broken into 2 columns:

Order duration in minutes - displays the order’s duration.

Product duration in minutes - displays the order’s duration x each language x product, so if an order has 10 minutes and a language within has 2 products, that’s 20 product duration.
