What can you do?

Page 1 - properties:

Properties page of Qterm's New term base wizard. On this page, there are 7 fields to fill in: name (required), read-only, project, client, domain, subject, and description. There is also information about who created this term base. in the top-right corner, there are Cancel and Next buttons.

Here you can:

  • Fill in the information fields as needed. The Name field is required.

  • Make the term base read-only: Check the Read-only? check box.

  • Create a moderated term base:

    Normally, when a translator or a reviewer adds a new term to the term base, it immediately becomes visible to everyone else who uses the term base.

    In some cases - especially when the end client is conscious about terminology -, this must be controlled more tightly. An organization can appoint a terminologist who can approve new additions. When this happens, new entries become visible to others only after the terminologist approves them. To make this work, you need to make a moderated term base.

    To make the new term base moderated: Check the Moderated check box.

    Normally, new entries appear only after the terminologist approves them. However, the term base can make them available immediately - in that case, some new entries disappear when the terminologist decides against them.

    To make entries appear immediately in a moderated term base: Clear the Late disclosure check box.
