XTM Connect – Drupal 8.x-7.0

Viewing a job item's source text

You can view, but not edit, a job item's source text. It is displayed in a separate Job overview screen whose name is the same as the name of the job item you want to view. You can only view one job item source text at a time.

There are two ways to display this Job overview screen:

  • From the Job Items screen in the Job Items tab screen.

    Note

    You can view any job item whose status is not Needs review or Inactive.

  • From the Job overview screen in the Jobs tab screen.

    Note

    You can view any job item whose status is not Unprocessed , Aborted or Finished.

The procedures below described how to use these two options.

To view a job item source text from the Job Items screen in the Job Items tab screen:

  1. In the Job Items screen, find the job item whose content you want to view. (If necessary, filter the job items list to find it.) On the right of the screen, you see the OPERATIONS column.

  2. In the OPERATIONS column, at the end of the line that contains the translation job's details, on the right, select the View button. If the button label is not View, ensure that you have selected a job whose status is not Needs review or Inactive.

    When you select the View button, a screen containing details about the job is displayed. The content is displayed in the Source text box at the bottom of the screen.

    (If the content has been translated, you also see the translation, in the Translation text box. If required, you can edit it there. If you do so, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the Save as completed button. The translated job item content is added to your Drupal site and can be seen by visitors.)

  3. To leave the screen, select the back button arrow-left-solid.png (not the Back to site button) in the top left-hand corner of the screen, above the Content icon. You return to the Job Items screen.

To view a job item source text from the Job overview screen in the Jobs tab screen:

  1. In the Job overview screen, in the Jobs tab screen, find the job item whose content you want to view. If a large number of translation jobs are listed in the Job overview screen, you can filter them to find the one that is relevant to you. On the right of the screen, you see the OPERATIONS column.

  2. In the OPERATIONS column, at the end of the line that contains the translation job's details, on the right, select the Manage button. If the button label is not Manage, ensure that you have selected a job whose status is not Unprocessed , Aborted or Finished.

    When you select the Manage button, a screen containing details about the job is displayed.

  3. To view the job item content, in the JOB ITEMS section, select the View button in the OPERATIONS column. The content is displayed in the Source text box at the bottom of the screen.

    (If the content has been translated, you also see the translation, in the Translation text box. If required, you can edit it there. If you do so, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the Save as completed button. The translated job item content is added to your Drupal site and can be seen by visitors.)

  4. To leave the screen, select the back button arrow-left-solid.png (not the Back to site button) in the top left-hand corner of the screen, above the Content icon. You return to the Job overview screen.
