Custom Issue Subtypes

If you have specific subtypes for Source or Translation Issues, Account Owners can manage custom subtypes in Account Settings > Issue Subtypes. Here you will find a list of all the default issue types, which you can edit, disable, or add a new subtype to the list.

Subtype Codes are for Smartling's API integration only. They are essentially a UID for the subtypes, which is typically a replica of the subtype name.

Create Custom Subtypes

  • Click Add New Subtype

  • Choose the issue type - Source or Translation

  • Insert the subtype name

    • Max character limit: 80

    • The subtype code for the API will autopopulate with the name of the subtype. This can be modified, but it is recommended to keep it consistent with the subtype name.

  • Click Confirm

Edit Subtypes

  • To edit any subtypes, click the ellipsis beside the subtype > Edit Subtype.

    • You cannot edit the subtype code for API

    • Editing the subtype does not affect the subtype code for API

Disable Subtypes

  • To disable any of the subtypes, click the ellipsis beside the subtype > Disable.

    • Disabling an issue subtype will prevent new issues from being recorded with this subtype. Existing issues will not be affected.

  • Choose to show or hide disabled subtypes by selecting or unselecting the checkbox beside "Show disabled Subtypes".
