With the Enterprise version of WebTerm you can not only search for terminology, you can also edit it - for example, you can amend existing entries or add new ones.
To edit terminology, you work in Edit mode (see here). When doing so, you have the following choices:
Adding a data record or entry - see here
Editing an existing data record - see here
Deleting a data record or entry - see here
Creating cross-references - see here
Working with multimedia files - see here
Quality assurance while editing - see here
Searching for duplicates - see here
Copying or moving a data record or entry - see here
Merging a data record - see here
To edit terminology, you switch to Edit mode by clicking the Edit button on the Details panel.
In Edit mode, you can perform tasks such as entering new information in data record fields or amending existing information (see the section "Editing fields in edit mode").
If WebTerm does not show the Edit button, it means that you do not have editing permission for the dictionary. In that case, you can send a comment or a request to the terminology administrator (see Section 9).
You have the following options when exiting Edit mode:
Save changes: to do this, click the Accept button.
WebTerm saves the changed data record to the database. WebTerm places it in its correct alphabetical position based on the source-language term and displays it the next time you perform a search.
Discard changes: to do this, click the Cancel button.
WebTerm exits Edit mode without saving the changes. The data record remains unchanged and the amendments you have made are lost.
In Edit mode, WebTerm displays the data record fields as input boxes so that you can enter new information or change existing information:
Please note the following tips:
WebTerm shows the contents Term field to the right of the 3-letter language code for the entry.
A list of the language codes can be found in the section "3-letter language code".
Examples in Fig. 10-1:
English term application (language code ENG )
German term Anwendungsprogramm (language code DEU )
The Term fields must never be left blank because the entries would then be meaningless and WebTerm would delete them.
Display of header, language information and additional languages
You can use the Details view menu to specify whether WebTerm displays the header, the language information and additional languages (in addition to source and target languages). If WebTerm does not display them, check the relevant setting (see the section "Customising Details view").
Editing header fields, language information, additional input fields and subentries
To edit more fields, open the header, language information or entry by clicking the arrowhead. WebTerm then displays all the fields as input boxes:
You can use the Details view menu to specify the fields which WebTerm displays so that you can enter information in them. If WebTerm does not display one of these fields, check the appropriate setting (see Section "Customising Details view").
You can edit any data records for which you have editing permission.
1 Open the data record you require in Edit mode:
To do so, click the source-language term on the Search & Find panel. WebTerm shows the data record details.
Click the Edit button on the Details panel.
WebTerm switches to Edit mode so that you can edit the data record.
2 You can now edit the data record as described in Section "Working in edit mode".
3 To exit Edit mode and save your changes, click the
Accept
button.
To exit Edit mode without saving your changes, click the Cancel button.
If you accept the changes, WebTerm saves the changed data record to the database.
