Set the default analysis for your project. Please be aware that this setting is connected to the Job Analysis window. That is, any changes made in the Job Analysis settings will be saved in the Project settings and vice versa. See Analysis for more details.
Set the default pre-translation for your project. As with project analysis, this setting is connected to the Job Pre-translation window so that any changes made in the Job Pre-translation settings will be saved in the Project settings and vice versa. For more details, see our Pre-translate article.
Project Status Automation rules enable users to configure when a project‘s status should be automatically changed. Project Status Automation rules can be saved in a project template and used together with an Automation Widget or with Automated Project Creation to achieve a completely automated process without a Project Manager’s involvement.
All options are deselected by default and can be modified on the account level in Setup, and on the project level in Project Settings. The options are as follows:
Set the project to Assigned once all jobs are Emailed
Set the project to Assigned once all jobs are Accepted
Set the project to Completed once all jobs are Completed
Set the project to Completed once all jobs are Delivered
Set the project to Cancelled once all jobs are Cancelled
Set the project to Completed once the project is Completed by Vendor
Select what checks should be performed when the quality assurance is launched for any of the project's translation jobs. See the Quality Assurance article for more details.

The Workflow feature is only available to users of the Team and Ultimate editions. Workflow makes it possible to maintain multiple versions of a translation job in a project. For instance, a typical workflow would be something like this: Translation → Editing → Proofreading. These are called Workflow Steps, and they can be customized in the Workflow Steps section of the Setup page. Please see a more detailed explanation in our Workflow article.
To start using Workflow in an existing project, click on the Edit button at the top right of a project page to edit the project settings. Then click on Workflow at the bottom of the Settings section and select the workflow steps you want to activate for the project. For new projects, the workflow can be activated immediately during project creation.
Note: The maximum limit is 15 workflow steps in a project.
