Project defaults
Often, a client will place orders with the same target languages. There are several ways of avoiding having to type in the same or similar data every time you create a new project. One way is to simply clone a previous project, but this will require you to make sure that no old data is relevant. Using Project defaults, you can start from scratch but still fill in the target languages quickly.
Storing project defaults
Under Tools & Data / Project defaults, you can create and edit defaults. A default is linked to either a Client keyword (sometimes called a "Brand") or a Production (typically a TV series). In this case, we are editing the defaults for a Sample Corporation. Please note that aside from the target language itself, additional data can be stored – such as tags.
Applying project defaults
- Use the Simple project form to create or edit a project.
- Make sure it has either a Client keyword or a Production.
- Select "Load defaults"
The values to be inserted will be shown in a preview. Click "Load defaults" to confirm.
The stored values have now been inserted in the Target section at the bottom of the form (replacing any previously selected values).
