Mistake types list

Mistake type is kind of mistake. For example, Grammar, Punctuation, etc. The system proposes you default mistake types:

[new version] You can edit or delete default mistake types by clicking the corresponding buttons:

To sort the mistake types by the needed criteria, please click any column name highlighted in blue. When the mistake types are sorted, you will see the arrow button next to the corresponding column name:

Note: As usual, it is impossible to delete some mistake types (because they are connected with projects), but you may uncheck the "Enabled" box, and the mistake type will not appear in the drop-down list anymore.

[new version] Note: You cannot delete mistake types in use, but you can disable them so that they are not displayed in the drop-down lists. Press "Edit", uncheck the "Enabled" checkbox, and press "Update":

New mistake type

Go to System → Mistake types → New mistake type:

To add a new mistake type, fill in the name, description if needed, define score weight coefficients per specialization, and press "Create":

On this page, you may add a new mistake type:

• Enabled - mistake appears in the drop-down lists, so you may choose it.

[new version] *"Enabled" - if this checkbox is marked, the specialization is displayed in the drop-down list when creating a project.

• "ID" - a unique number, generated by the system.

• "Specialization" - the type of specialization.

[new version] *"Specialization" - go to "System" -> "Specializations" to edit or add specializations.

• Weight coefficient - the importance of mistake expressed by an index (index < 1 means that mistake is insignificant, index > 1 means that mistake is significant and may arise serious consequences).

[new version] A value that shows how much a mistake affects the project quality score depending on the specialization of a translation and the mistake type. For example, a stylistic mistake made in a legal translation is more considerable than the same mistake in an IT translation.
