Displaying Term Project Data

Context

This function calls up statistics evaluations based on the parameters of terminology projects defined for creating terminology worklists in SAPterm.

Procedure

In the initial SAPterm screen choose Utilities Display Project Data. The Project Data screen appears.
Enter the Project number or select it from the F4 Help. Enter the Target Language code or select it from the F4 Help.

Note

You may leave Target Language blank or enter an asterisk (*) to see data for all languages in the project but this only makes sense for the Calculate Forecast evaluation (see below). You may select only one language for the other evaluations.
Select the type of statistics evaluation and the relevant Snapshot Key (or keys) from the F4 Help.
- Calculate Forecast: Create an overview of the number of source language terms to be translated and the number of target language terms pending release (status 3).
- Display Data: Show the number of target terms by status or, separately, the percentage of target terms based on these numbers.
- Compare Data: Show the amount of term work completed in the timeframe defined by two separate snapshots.
Choose Execute to start the function. The Statistical Evaluation screen appears with the type of evaluation selected followed by the project data and statistics.

Term Project Snapshots

Context

A snapshot in SAPterm is a set of statistics generated at a given time based on the predefined parameters of a term project and used as baselines to evaluate and compare past and current terminology work with remaining work.

Each snapshot belongs to a single term project. A snapshot for one project cannot be used to evaluate the statistics of another project, even if the projects otherwise have identical parameters.

Snapshots are stored with the date and time they were generated. SAPterm generates snapshots for all active projects automatically every week. SAPterm users can also create ad hoc snapshots at any time as follows.

Procedure

In the initial SAPterm screen choose Utilities Create Project Snapshot. The Create Snapshot screen appears.
Enter the Project number or select it from the F4 Help.
Choose Create Snapshot. The Snapshot successfully created message appears as confirmation.
The snapshot is available in the F4 Help selection the next time you run the Project Data function and select a project number.
Note
The project data function is accurate up to the time of the last snapshot. The statistics evaluation will not take into account any changes made since that time, including the following situations.

Source terms added to subject area components

Source terms deleted or moved to other subject areas

Subject area components deactivated
If you suspect large discrepancies between the actual number of terms to be worked on and the data based on the most recent snapshot, simply create another snapshot as described and use this snapshot as the basis for the project data calculations.
