It is possible that some ICE and Leveraged matches have been returned and not set to “Done” because the Use not approved memory setting has been enabled (Project EditorGeneral infoGeneral info). This will increase might possibly have increased the To be done segments count.

...

First of all, the increased To be done word count all depends on whether or not you allow “not approved” TM matches to be set as “Done” automatically, in the global settings of your XTM Cloud instance (Configuration → Settings → Translation → TM → ICE matches/Leveraged matches). If the said option/options is/are enabled, what you can further do is to verify if the project (or project template) was created with the settings that allow for “not approved” TM matches to be set as “Done” automatically, for a particular TM match type.

On the other hand, the increased To be done word count may mean that you are not using “not approved” translation memory at all and the TM matches you were expecting have not been approved.

Are the statistics in the user’s Statistics tab a Target word countor a Source word count?[UsersUser list → (select a user) → Edit userTasks Statistics]?

...

The “task” here refers to a workflow step, so when a user finishes a step, a record containing statistics information is created in the database and displayed in the Statistics tabs.

(warning) IMPORTANT!

The “task” might also be displayed when the whole project is finished, rather than a single workflow step. This depends on what the administrator selects in the global settings of your XTM Cloud instance (Configuration → Settings → Projects → Statistics processing).

Can XTM Cloud round down or up after the decimal point for the Japanese yen currency, in PO costs?

Currently, XTM Cloud does not round down or up after a decimal point. However, there are plans to implement this in future XTM Cloud versions. For now, it is possible to change the values in total and subtotal fields manually, or change those field types so that they do not include decimal placesThe yen currency uses whole numbers and cannot have decimals. Therefore, in XTM Cloud it is not possible to round them up, so the costs in that particular currency will always be displayed in full yens.

Info

Sub-unit of the Japanese yen is sen. However, sen is not commonly used in everyday transactions, and prices are typically rounded to the nearest yen. In practical terms, the smallest denomination you will commonly encounter in circulation is the 1 yen coin.

Is there a way to download the Metrics for multiple projects at once, as a flat XLSX file?

XTM Cloud currently does not have this function. However, you can use the metrics-related reports available in the Actions menu. Select ProjectsProject listActionsReports to download multiple reports with metrics. However, this only works for XLSX files, not flat XLSX files, and only for projects that have not been archived. We are currently working on improving this feature in XTM Cloud, to include archived projects.

...

Alternatively, you could also use the API to download multiple metrics.

...

It is currently not possible to do this in XTM Cloud. You just reselect the system billing currency whenever a PO is generated. XTM Cloud does save different rate cards for different currencies but you need to switch between them in the user’s settings, manually (Edit userRate cardsUser billing currency).

...

Info

If you would like to implement two system billing currencies nonetheless, there is a workaround that involves creating two separate LSPs, one with currency A and one with currency B. In this way it is easier to automate this process than manually switch between the currencies in a single LSP.

Why are there discrepancies in the PO and costs that the Linguist sees?
