Creating a List of Terms in STMP 

You can create a list of terms to be edited in the proposal pool using transaction STMP. This worklist is based on a generic source text entry.

For example, you could find all translations for the term Buchungskreis, including variations and abbreviations of Buchungskreis in the proposal pool by making the generic entry Bu in transaction STMP. The procedure described below uses this example.

Procedure

  1. Call up transaction STMP.

    2. The system takes you to the Proposal Pool: Selection screen.

  2. Enter your Source language and Target language.
  3. Under Text selection, enter the generic string Bu in the Source language text field and select Tail search. Do not enter a *, for a generic search; if you enter a *, the system will actually search for the character *.

The Source language text you enter relates to the Source language you have entered above. You can therefore enter a text in any language maintained in the proposal pool, provided you have made a setting for the same language under Source language.

You do not have to make a generic entry in this field. If you want to search for a specific entry, enter the complete string and select Only this text. You can enter up to 45 characters in this field. For more information, see Displaying a Specific Term in STMP.
  1. Under Text length range, set one or more indicators.

    2. You can achieve better system performance by restricting the length of texts. For example, if you set the 1 to 20 indicator, the system will only find texts up to 20 characters long, and the search will not take so long.

    If you set all the text length indicators, the system will find all texts that start with Bu, including longer short texts, such as messages and headings. However, this setting is more time-consuming.

  2. Under Translator’s name and Date, you can enter further selection criteria for more specific selection.

If you enter the name of a translator, the system will display all those source texts that have at least one target text created by this translator.

If you enter a date, the system will display all those source texts that have at least one target text created according to the dates you have entered.
  1. Now choose Execute.

Result

The system takes you to the Proposal Pool: Overview Generic Search screen.

This screen contains a list of terms selected according to your search criteria: in this case, a list of terms starting with Bu. The source texts are displayed on the left hand side of the screen and the target texts (if target texts already exist, it is possible that the source terms are not yet translated) are displayed on the right hand side of the screen. Only the first 50 characters of each term is displayed in the list, it is possible that the term is longer.

A counter on the left hand side of the target text terms shows you the number of applications for which there are entries for this term in the proposal pool, excluding the system standard. If no counter appears next to the term in the list, then only one proposal exists for the term, that is the system standard.

For performance reasons, this list is restricted to a certain number of hits. You can call up subsequent lists of entries by choosing the icon. Each list is given a number which is displayed in the information at the top of the screen. Once you have displayed all the lists which match your selection criteria, the system will take you back to list 1.
