If you forgot to add an asset to a project, or there is an error where the only workaround is to add the same file as a new task, you may need to add a task to a project through Explorer. |
To add one or more source new files to a project as new task(s) through Explorer, follow these steps:1- Copy the source asset path from the Task History. To view task History, if you use the Legacy User Interface, click on the task number while viewing the project. The Task History/Task Information will open up. Here is an example:
If you use the Modern User Interface, click on the Information symbol on the Tasks page to find the source asset path: 2- Open Explorer and paste the source language asset path into the Asset Path field to view the location of the source asset 3- Select the source language folder path, go to the Menu, select Asset/Upload. You will be prompted to browse to the file, select it and upload it to the source language folder 6- Click Next. Now, in the drop-down menu, choose the correct Workflow to add this asset to your existing project and click Add to Project.
To add the same source file (with the same name) to a project as a new task through Explorer, follow these steps:1- Copy the source asset path from the Task History. To view task History, if you use the Legacy User Interface, click on the task number while viewing the project. The Task History/Task Information will open up:
If you use the Modern User Interface, click on the Information symbol in the Tasks page to find the source asset path: 2- Open Explorer and paste the source language asset path into the Asset Path field to view the location of the source asset 3- Select the Source language folder in the folder view in the left pane. Right-click on it and select New 4- In the pop-up, choose Filesystem Directory to create a subfolder, then name the folder something unique, like New Task:
5- Once the new folder is created, highlight/select the asset in the source folder and select Edit -> Copy 6- Browse to the subfolder you have created, select it and click OK to copy the source file to that folder: 7- Highlight the new folder you just pasted under the target folder and right-click to select Properties 8- Optional: if you need to use a different File Type Group or Translation Memory than in the original project, in the Filter Configuration field, choose a Filter Group that contains the file type and the configuration that you need. The same applies to the Translation Memory field in the drop-down menu. Click OK to save your changes (You can skip this step if no change is needed.) 9- Select the file that you want to add as a new Task to the project. Go to the Menu, click on Project and click on Add to project 11- Click Next. Now choose the correct Workflow to add this asset to your existing project and click Add to Project.
