If you use the Customer Portal to receive translation work directly from your customers, you need to tell memoQWeb about these customers.
Each customer appoints contact people. These people will log in to the Customer Portal, and send in translation requests, or check on their status.
For each customer, there can be three types of contact people:
•Requester: This is more or less a project manager on the customer's end. A requester can upload files for translation, get a quote, accept the quote (that is, start the project), check progress, and download exported documents. A requester can view statistics for projects they started. •Observer: An observer can view requests that requesters sent in, check progress of projects, view statistics, and download translations. In the customers' organization, this is a higher-level person who needs information about the work of a team, but is not involved in the operative work. •Manager: A manager can do everything a Requester and an Observer can do. In addition, they can edit or delete the customer's other contacts, change their roles, and reassign work from one contact to another. As the administrator of the Customer portal, you can also add, edit, or delete contacts, for each organization, on the Customer Portal admin page.
If it is allowed on the memoQ server, contacts can also register at the Customer Portal. Normally, these registrations must be approved on the Customer Portal admin page.
How to get here
1.Open memoQWeb in a Web browser. Log in as an administrator. 2.Click the Admin tab, then click the Customer Portal admin tab. 3.The Customer Portal admin page appears.

•Add a new contact: At the top right, click New contact. The New customer portal contact page opens. You must add any new contacts to existing customer: Before you add a new contact, make sure that their organization is already in the system as a customer. To add a new customer, open the Customer Portal customers page.
•Find a contact: Type a part of the contact's name or email in the Search box above the list. Press Enter. •Modify details of a contact: In the contact's row, in the Ops column, click the Edit  icon. The Edit customer portal contact page opens. On that page, you can change the privileges of the contact (Requester, Observer, Manager), or adjust the workflows they can request. You can edit the details of unapproved contact registrations, too. •Delete a contact: In the contact's row, in the Ops column, click the Delete  icon. Caution: When you delete a contact, they will not be able to send in work anymore. In addition, the requests this contact sent in must be reassigned to another contact from the same customer. You will be able to choose a different contact here.
Do not delete the last contact: If a customer has ongoing projects, there must be at least one active contact for them. If you delete the last one, the projects will become orphaned, and the customer may become unable to retrieve the translations.
