Context Dashboard

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.

Search & Filters

  • Title/URL: Insert a context file name or URL
  • Type: Select a type from the dropdown menu of HTML, Image, or Video
  • Source: Select how the context file was ingested into Smartling from the dropdown menu. Options include:
  • Associated Strings: Filter for context files that have or don't have bound strings
  • String hashcode: Insert a string hashcode to locate a context file bound to that string
  • Missing Resources: Filter for context files that have or don't have missing resources
  • Created After Date: Filter for context files that were uploaded after a specified date
  • Created Before Date: Filter for context files that were uploaded before a specified date

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.
