Archiving Jobs

  2 minute read  

You archive a translation job so that it will no longer be displayed by default in the Jobs tab of the Translation Status window.

Typically, you archive a translation job after all its assets have been translated and approved, when it is inactive, which means it has Completed status. You can also unarchive jobs that have already been archived, so that they are active again and displayed by default in the Jobs tab of the Translation Status window.

Recommendation: Archive only completed jobs. If you archive a job that is in progress (for example, with In Translation status), then the Connector will no longer process the content items in that job.

For a list and description of job statuses, see Translation Statuses.

Only users who are assigned to the sitecore\Translation Administrator role or who are Sitecore admin users can archive and unarchive jobs.

To archive jobs:
  1. In the Sitecore Content Editor ribbon, click the Lionbridge Translation tab, and then in the Translation Tools section, click Translation Status.

The Jobs tab of the Translation Status window opens. For a detailed description of this window, see Monitoring the Status of Translation Jobs.

  2. Click the Archive selected jobs button in the toolbar in the top-left corner.
