Worklist Management (SAP Library - Setting Up and Coordinating Translation (BC-DOC-TTL))

Worklist Management

Use

You can use the Worklist management function to view and process the worklists of translators when technical problems arise.

You can also use this function to reset the worklists of translators who are absent or who are no longer working on this project, so that other translators can all up the objects that these worklists contain.

Prerequisites

Your translator profile must contain authorization S1 (Worklist management) with value 1.

You also need to ensure that the translator is not currently editing his/her worklist before you try to access it. Otherwise you may not be able to perform certain activities, such as releasing objects from the worklist.

Features

The worklist management screen is organized according to target language and translator and gives you an overview of the worklists for all translators who have already called up a worklist in the system and for all languages in the system.

To view the status of translators and worklists, expand the entries for the respective language. The translator names are listed alphabetically and the worklists are displayed in one of the following colors:

Red: This means that the translator is currently processing the objects in his/her worklist. You have the following restrictions:

You cannot fetch any additional objects
You cannot remove any objects from the worklist

Yellow: This means that the translator has called up a worklist and this worklist contains objects for processing. However, the translator is not currently processing the objects in it. You can double-click this worklist to call it up and work in the same way as the translator.

Green: This means that the translator does not currently have a worklist. In other words the translator has either not yet called up a worklist, or has finished processing the objects in the worklist and has released them. You can, however, still call up this "empty" worklist and call up objects from packages assigned to this translator.

Activities

In transaction SE63, choose Worklist ® Worklist management. The list of translators' worklists appears, sorted according to target language.

Expand the node of the target language you require and then double-click the user name of the translator whose worklist you wish to process. The translator's current worklist appears. If the translator is currently working in this worklist, you receive a warning message.

To access the worklist of a specific translator, simply pace your cursor on the user name of the translator and choose Edit ® Choose. You can now perform the following activities:

Check the translator's user settings by choosing Utilities ® Settings.
Call up an object in this worklist by double-clicking the object name. Transport Recording is not, however, active in Worklist Management. Any texts you translate via Worklist Management are not written to the transport request used in Transport Recording.

Call up additional objects in this worklist by choosing Get worklist.

Release objects from this worklist, by selecting the objects in question and choosing Release translation.

Reset the worklist and remove all objects contained in it by choosing Worklist ® Reset worklist. This now means other translators can now call up these objects in their worklists, as long as you have assigned the relevant packages to them.
