Filtering segments is particularly useful, for example, in making sure that there are no untranslated segments left in a file when you submit it for review.
Procedure
- Open the appropriate file in SDL Online Editor.
- On the right side of the screen, select Show Filters
.
- In the Filters pane, select the Enable Filters check box.
The Enable Filters check box is selected by default when you select Show Filters for the first time.
- Do one or more of the following:
- To filter segments according to their status, origin, or origin before adaptation, expand the Segment Attributes node and select the appropriate attributes in the Status, Origin, and Origin Before Adaptation lists.
- To filter segments according to the changes suggested during the review phase, expand the Review node and select the appropriate check boxes.
- To filter locked or unlocked segments, expand the Segment Locking node and select the appropriate check box.
The filters are applied as soon as you select them and the number of segments that match the filtering attributes is displayed at the top of the Filters pane, in a form such as Filtered 16 of 184 segments. If the asset you are working on contains segments with comments, only the comments of the segments that match the filtering attributes are displayed in the Comments pane. Similarly, if the asset you are working on contains segments with revisions, only the revisions of the segments that match the filtering attributes are displayed in the Revisions pane.
Results
When you filter segments, a small dot is displayed next to the
Show Filters button:

. This is helpful especially if you collapse the
Filters pane, because it helps you remember that you are working with a filtered list of segments, not with all the segments in the text.
