Features and Grids FAQs
Can I upload batches of files to the Grid?
Yes indeed, you can upload batches of files or even whole folders. You need to create a column with the "Files" Data type. Once created, you click on the arrow on the header and select "Upload folder". The next step is to choose the folder, map the column to match with and then click upload. The uploaded files should appear in the new column and be associated with the correct record.

Can I upload several tabs from an Excel file?
You can upload each tab one at a time.
Can users change their views?
We have 2 main access views: Admin (default view) and personal (access view). You can control views so that only the data you wish to share is available to certain members.
If I have 10 languages, can I create 10 views and provide a separate view to each translator?
Yes, totally possible.
Will the translators be notified if the source content changes?
Source text with target language dependencies will feature a yellow highlight to denote which source text cells have changed. These can be filtered so that only those records appear in a view. Regarding notifications, you can do this through the Ticket system where you can tag other Gridly users. Alternatively set up a Trigger to notify via Slack or another collaboration tool of your choice.
Do you have a word count feature?
Yes. You can use the accumulator function at the bottom of each column or refer to the Translation overview function (far right of UI). This is based on the view you have selected at that time. Learn more in this article: Length limit for translation.
How about TM and Glossaries (terminology) support?
We support both Translation Memory (TM) functionality and Glossary. You can check the help articles for more information.
Our game assets and info are confidential. Where will the data be stored?
Gridly is a cloud-based solution and we don’t offer private servers at the point. However, we protect your data in a number of ways. Normally, our staff will access your data if you need IT support. All our staff are under confidentiality agreements so we won’t reveal your data to anyone else. Find out more in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Is there any support or plans for A/B Testing?
We don’t have A/B testing built-in. However, with branching features, you can leverage this for your own A/B testing flow.
Do you have any native MT engine in the tool?
No, this would be managed through MemoQ/Memsource (or other). Or you can actually hook up a Grid (with some scripting involvement) to push and pull text from a MT service.
