Seach using filters
Like in other areas you can perform a Quick Search or a Detail search to find translators by a variety of search criteria such as languages offered, specialization etc.
In addition, the Filter Search helps to find adequate translators quickly and to add them to ongoing (Sub-) Projects. You can also generate group e-mails, e.g. to launch availability inquiries to a number of translators you would like to involve. (For details, see below.)
When launched from a sub-project, project or quote the Filter Search screen is directly connected to projects or quotes, so suppliers can be asssigned jobs from right within the Search screen.
Accessing the Filter Portal
The most frequent way to start a filter search is from a sub-project (or quote) when finding a translator for a particular job. You may also enter the filter portal from the general translators list.
Please note
