XTM Portal Administrator and User Manual

Main Content

In Main Content you can:

Uploading CSV files with Subject Matters

The default list of the Subject Matters available in the XTM Portal is taken from the Customer’s XTM instance. If any custom Subject Matters are added in XTM they have to be added to XTM Portal to be visible in the Subject Matters dropdown menu.

Subject Matters will be displayed in the user interface in the same order as in the CSV file.

To add new Subject Matters, a CSV file needs to be uploaded with all subject matters in line with the following naming convention:

BROADCASTING_PRINTING_AND_PUBLISHING; Broadcasting, Printing and Publishing

The information provided on the left side of the semi-colon is sent to XTM, while the information on the right of the semi-colon is sent to the XTM Portal.

4. Click Next to choose a translation option, determine the number of translation copies or translation delivery method, and see the price estimate generated by XTM before you decide to buy the service. At this point, you can also cancel your request.

5. Click Next to receive a Request Confirmation. You can also add or edit your comments.

6. Click Next to create a task in XTM and be redirected to Secure Payments. You will be presented with a proposal before making a payment.

7. Click Proceed to payment.

Tip

Users can cancel their project requests at any point before they confirm the translation request. Abandoning the process means that the project will be assigned a “Deactivated” status in XTM and will not be visible on the project listing page in XTM Portal.
