Cost Model Setup

Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > Cost Model Setup > Cost Models

When you determine the scope (word count and price) of a project, folder, or asset, you select a cost model. You can use the word count aspect of the scoping tool without creating a cost model, but to use the costing aspect of the scoping tool, you need to create at least one cost model. You can create multiple cost models to meet your needs (for example, if you have multiple translation vendors with different pricing). Set up cost models in Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > Cost Model Setup.

Once you create cost models, you can specify which cost model to use for a particular project or project group when creating a project by specifying it in the Advanced Setting dialog box.

Note: You can configure the ranges that appear when creating a cost model and when scoping an asset or task in Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > Scoping Configuration. If you choose to change the default configuration, you must do so before creating cost models and projects. Any cost models and scoping information created prior to changing the scoping configuration will be unusable.
