Global Collaboration
With Buzzsaw Professional it is possible to have true global collaboration within a
site. For example, users in the United States can collaborate with users in Germany,
each using English and German respectively. If you have work on a site in English
but have a German contractor, that contractor can login to your site, and view the
site in German. In the past all members of a site would have had to view the site in
the same language.
This has certain implications for how you might use forms and form logs:
■ A form will remain in the language that it was created in. For example, if the form is
created in German, it will always be in German.
■ Users within the same site can create form logs in multiple languages. That is, a German
member using the German version of Buzzsaw Professional will create logs in German.
An American user using the English version of Buzzsaw Professional will create logs in
English. The forms themselves will remain in the language that they were created in.
■ A form log can only contain one form type. Thus, if you need RFIs in English and German,
then you need to create two different form logs: one for the English RFIs and one for the
German RFIs.
■ The column headings in the log view will be taken from the form itself. Thus, a log
containing German forms will have column headings in German regardless of your system
configuration or which client language you have installed.
