People and logins

If many people work in your company, you have to define the role that they have in it: administrator, manager, worker, etc. This is managed from the People & Logins section.

Note:
When you define your company, you must define at least a project leader or an administrator with the right credentials to log on to the system.
To give a specific role to a person of your staff:

  • Click on My Company.
  • Click on the People and logins tab.

  • Select a person.
  • Click on the question mark situated in Profile in the Account sub-menu (screen shot below):

Among all the roles available, only the ones shown in the table below can be given to your staff (except Administrator which can only be given to one person):

Only one administrator can be created!
To add a login, follow these steps:

  • Click on Add new.
  • Fill in all the fields. (Fields with an asterisk * are mandatory.)
  • Click on Save.

 

You can customise the user profiles to define what information can be seen and modified by a user. See: https://wordbee.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WBT/pages/712264 
A login credential can only be deleted or edited by another user with a higher profile rank.

Do not delete all accounts or you will be blocked out.

 


Service portfolio

Define which tasks can be performed by the user in the platform at the bottom of the page. 

Click on the

 icon to start defining your service portfolio:

You can define each service for a particular language combination or for all languages available in the system

Also, when working in Codyt Projects, you may want to use dynamic supplier groups to ease the dispatching of the jobs proposals.

The <any language> setup could be helpful to keep an eye on job proposals being sent to the desired suppliers.

It is not mandatory to define prices and units for each of the services added (specially if you don't create invoices for your internal staff).

Details for Automatic deadline calculations

In the middle of the popup you will encounter two fields that allow the system calculate due dates for this user accordingly:

  • Capacity (Speed): refers to the estimated workload the supplier can take in the platform (it should be an average of all the projects he could be involved in)
  • Lead time refers to response time of the user to accept the assignment and start working

    Setting up these values is not mandatory and you can always update the service details in a later moment. Once you start working in the platform, the "Statistics" tab in the upper part of the page will also give you useful information about these metrics.

Important

Monolingual services (source only)

Services like linguistic preparation, source editing or copywriting refer to "Source only" tasks, which have been defined in the platform by the administrator (for more details see the task categories section).

These monolingual services need to be defined accordingly in the pricelist of each internal supplier:

 

In the end, this is how the custom service porfolio will look like:

You can add new tasks or edit the ones existing at any time!

Administrators can create and customise the list of tasks in the platform at any time. Learn how to do it in Settings > Task categories.
