Swapping Two Target Texts 

Use

You can use this function to swap two target texts in the proposal pool in the Proposal Pool: Editing dialog box. You can access this dialog box as described in Accessing the Proposal Pool.

Prerequisites

You can only change a term if you have translator status higher or equal to the status of the term itself, or if you have Coordinator status. See Translator Status for more information. You can, of course, also swap texts that you have created yourself.

Procedure

  1. Place your cursor on the first term you want to swap and choose the Select icon.
  2. This term now turns yellow.

  3. Place your cursor on the term with which you want to swap the first term and choose Select again.
  4. This term also turns yellow. If you select an entry by mistake, you can undo this by choosing Deselect.

  5. Now choose the Swap icon.
  6. The two terms that you have selected now change places.

  7. Choose Save.

Result

The two terms you selected have now been swapped. For instance, if you swapped an application standard and an exception, the exception is now the application standard and vice versa. The text details will now contain your user name and the current date for both proposals.

Do not use this function to rearrange the sequence of length variants or exceptions within an application standard or within the system standard for aesthetic reasons. You cannot change this sequence because the system always arranges exceptions alphabetically and sorts length variants according to length.
