Introduction
You can use a TM penalty profile to select a particular translation memory (TM) from the XTM Cloud database, based on its tags and tag groups, and then penalize matches during analysis of the source file (click here see How to create tags and tag groups to find out how to create tags in XTM Cloud).
Applying a TM penalty profile provides project managers with the flexibility to control which TM is used for a project and the priority each match is given when presented to the translator.

IMPORTANT! You cannot apply TM penalty profiles to MT matches! MT matches perforce are not saved in the TM resources, so there is nothing to penalize. |

Guidelines
As a user with the Administrator role, go to Configuration → Data → Tags → TM penalty profiles, and click the Add button.

Keep in mind that if penalty profiles contain rules with multiple lines (as in the screenshot above), there is an AND between the lines of a rule. If there are multiple rules in the profile, there is an OR between them.   |
IMPORTANT!Penalty profiles rules: available options
...
If you want to favor translations that match the criteria specified in a penalty profile, you can lower the default priority of non-penalized matches, increase the priority of the penalty profile and choose not to do anything else as a penalty action.
