Fields
Fields hold supplementary data for each translation unit (TU) in a TM.
You usually modify change fields by changing the field template.
Types of Fields
- GroupShare maintained fields ("system fields")
-
SDL Trados GroupSharemaintains a number of system fields for each TU, such as:
- created by and creation date
- modified by and modification date
- last used by and last used date
- User maintained fields ("custom fields")
- The value of custom fields is set by a user, for each TU.
How to use fields
You can display field values, and you can filter TUs by their field values, for example to find all TUs that were created after a certain date.
You also add penalties to TUs, based on their field values.
