You can edit duplicate or inconsistent entries directly from the search results view provided that you have the appropriate termbase access rights. Access rights are defined by your MultiTerm administrator and they may vary from one termbase to the next.
Before you begin editing a duplicate or inconsistent entry check that you have sufficient access rights to carry out the required editing tasks. Note the following:
If another user is editing the entry you want to edit, you will not be able to open the entry in edit mode.
If the maximum number of concurrent editors on the network has already been reached, you may be temporarily prevented from carrying out any editing tasks. If necessary, contact your MultiTerm administrator to inform them of your requirements.
You cannot modify fields to which you have read-only access.
To edit a duplicate or inconsistent entry:
In the entry window that is displayed when you click on the entry ID number, click Edit entry.
|
NOTE |
Do not open more than one editing window at a time, or the entry will be locked and it will not be possible to edit the entry. |
Click the field name or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move between fields in the entry pane.
Select the name of the field you want to edit. You can also select the field name and press [ENTER] to make a field editable. Make changes to the text. Press [ESC] to close the edited field without saving the changes. Click the field name or press [ENTER] to save the changes and close the field when you have finished.
As the same term already exists in another entry, when you close the field, SDL MultiTerm Online asks you if you want to merge the two entries.
To continue editing and thus create a second instance of the term in a homonym entry, click Cancel.
To merge the two entries, click OK. The existing entry, also known as the master entry, is displayed in edit mode. The fields that previously belonged to the newer entry are now merged into the existing entry. Finish editing and then save the master entry. Delete the entry whose content has been merged into the master entry.
To delete a field from the entry, select the field label and press Delete. Alternatively, you can delete the field by simply deleting its contents.
When you have finished editing, click Save entry to exit edit mode. The entry is saved to the termbase.
To exit the entry editor without saving the entry, click Cancel entry editing.
