Roles and computers

Computer-based: A given role is assigned to a particular computer.

User-based: Any role can be performed on any project computer. Still best for a user to use the same computer every time they work.

Workflow

Somewhat rigid. Requires stages based on translation best-practices (Draft, Peer Check, Community Test, Back Translation, Consultant Check)

• Much more flexible. Draft and Consultant Approve are the only required stages. Others – Peer Check, Community Test, Consultant Check – can all be added in any order and number and customized.
• A Stage is “packaged” with all relevant sub-stages. E.g. Peer Check includes Peer Revise; Consultant Check includes Back Translate, Note Interpret, Transcribe, and Consultant Revise (all optional and customizable)

Scope Breakdown terms

Sets and Passages

Sections and Passages (just a name change)

Yellow guidance

Yellow marks required actions and cannot be turned off. Also, when listening to a yellow audio (e.g. reference audio of a passage) you must listen all the way through before moving on.

This guidance feature can be turned ON or OFF for any given stage and substage. Also, when listening to a yellow audio file, you are NOT required to listen all the way through.

Drafts

Only one draft of a passage possible in Draft and Revise

Up to 6 drafts of a passage can be made and compared in Draft and Revise.

Passage Division

A division point is made in the primary reference only; that first division is drafted completely and then Render presents the remainder of the passage for further division and so on.

All desired division points must be made at once before drafting; all references can be divided; each division is drafted as a new passage but labeled as part of the original – 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.

Notes

Disconnected from any point in the audio; the note maker (Teams, Peers or Consultant) needs to specify where in the audio their note is relevant.

Notes can be connected to a point in the audio determined by the cursor location.

Community Test

For Q&R, one Setup stage and 3 possible Test stages using the same Questions from the Setup

Community Test Stage includes Setup, Test, and Revise. One or more such Stages can be added to the workflow allowing for multiple community tests. See Helpdesk article "How to Configure and Conduct More than One Community Test. "

Edit

Only available in the Consultant Revise stage.

Improved and optionally available in every Revise stage.

Consultant Check & Approval

Approval of a Set occurs as soon as the Checking Consultant is satisfied and by making no more notes/comments on the Set.

Approval of a Section is accomplished in a separate stage from Consultant Check and can be performed by someone other than the Consultant Check user.

Back Translation

Retell and/or Breath-Pause BT

Retell and/or Segment BT (basically just a name change)

• "Section Status" in the 3-dot user menu gives you access to Section information including Biblical reference, current Stage, team to which it is assigned, and Draft audio. No reference audio, Back Translation, or notes audio is available.
• The Config role has additional powers in the Section Status feature. The Config will also have another tab at the top of the window called "Recovery." In Recovery, a Section can be reverted to a prior condition. This can help to recover from a data corruption experienced in a given Stage. If this happens, the Config can revert that Section to its condition prior to that Stage, or Reset the Section all the way to its original condition.
