The Context Dashboard is available for Account Owners and Project Managers who have access to our new user experience.
The Context Dashboard is a list of 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: 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 immediately upload a new image context file.

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/additional content related to existing context, this action allows you to re-run the matching of the new strings to the text in the context file.
Choose between matching the context with all string in a project, Job, or string in a specific file.
For video context files, you can only use the full file and choose a different subtitle file. Run matching does not give you the option to convert the video to images - you should delete the context file and re-upload it if you want this option.
