XTM Cloud v 13.1

Create a project: Workflow

This section provides information about mandatory and optional Workflow parameters that you can use while creating a project in XTM Cloud.

XTM offers a number of default workflows. You can select one of the predefined workflow templates for the entire project or different workflows for target languages.

Special characters between the steps mean:

  • , (comma) - two steps can be processed simultaneously

  • ­­­-> (en dash followed by ­angle bracket) - the bundle in the second step only becomes active when the same bundle in the preceding step has been finished

  • # (hashtag) - none of the bundles in the second step become active until all the bundles in the preceding step have been finished
