Process localization

Previous  Top  Next

This feature allows translating the name and the description of the process, as well as the name and the description of the activities and other flowchart elements. When the process is translated, it will be displayed according to the language in the session of the logged user. Localization is applied to the search grids, flowcharts, input & output diagrams, turtle diagrams, process trees and the Workflow, Incident and Problem instances.

 

To perform the translation, access the process data or flowchart in edit mode (under revision or enabled for editing). Then, click on the "Localization" button located on the toolbar of the process and flowchart data screens.

 

It is important to point out that the user who will translate (or enter the translation of) the process must have permission to edit the process data, in the case of a simplified revision, or be a part of the revision route/flow, in the case of an ISO9000 based or Process revision.

 

On the screen that will be opened, enable the languages in which the process will be translated. To do that, access the desired language and check the "Enable language" option. The sim icon will be displayed next to each language enabled in the "Languages" panel. Then, translate the elements of the following sections:
