The Context Dashboard is available for Account Owners and Project Managers with access to our new user experience.
The Context Dashboard lists all Visual Context files that have been ingested into Smartling. From here, you can view, upload, and manage all context files within a Project.
Accessing the Context Dashboard
Go to a Project and click on the Context tab
Context Dashboard Layout
The Context Dashboard contains the following columns:
Thumbnail: A thumbnail image of the context file
Name/URL: The name or URL of the context file/page
Type: The context type
Source: How the context file was ingested into Smartling
Strings: The number of strings bound with context
Created: The timestamp of when the context file was ingested in Smartling
Actions
View Context: This opens the Context Details dialog, where you can view the context as it appears in the CAT Tool.
Run Matching: re-runs context's string matching.
Replace Context: deletes the image context file and allows you to upload a new one immediately.
Remove strings: This option removes the context's string binding. If no strings are matched, this option is unavailable.
Delete Context: deletes the context file and removes any string association.
Copy Context UID: copies the context UID required for API integration or to assist with a support issue.
View Resources: opens the resource dialog where you can view all HTML context resources
Bulk Actions
Deletion: You can select multiple context files and bulk-delete by clicking the blue Actions button > Delete Selected Contexts
Matching: Select multiple context files, up to 50 at one time, and run bulk context matching by selecting the blue actions button > Run matching
Tip: Bulk context matching can only be executed against strings in Files or Jobs. Matching against strings in the Project is only available when matching on individual context files.

Upload Context
Visual Context can be manually uploaded to Smartling by a simple drag & drop or by clicking the blue Upload Context button.
Run Matching
If you upload new or additional content related to an existing context, this action allows you to re-run the matching of the new strings to the text in the context file.
You can choose between matching the context with all strings in a project, Job, or specific file.
You can only use the full file for video context files and choose a different subtitle file. Run matching does not allow you to convert the video to images - you should delete the context file and re-upload it if you want this option.
