AIS Properties
Generally, the Admin user has full TM, TD, and AIS access control list (ACL) access to all properties of the Asset Interface System (AIS).
An AIS property is a property associated with an AIS path. The value of an AIS property can be explicitly assigned or it can be inherited from the parent AIS path.
Use the Change Properties dialog box to set and modify properties for folders and assets ( or ). The available properties are listed below.
- Locale
- Specify a locale for the top-level source and target folders.
- Context URL
- Specify the URL of the parent page to which this asset belongs. This is used for the viewer in context mode. See Context URL for more details.
- Comments
- Add comments, if needed.
- Translation Memory
- For the target folder only, specify a translation memory.
- Term Database
- For the target folder only, specify a terminology database.
- File Type
- Specify which file type to use (only available if there are multiple file type configurations for the appropriate file types). Alternatively, if you have selected a folder, you can specify a file type group.
- Entry Form
- Specify which Entry Form to use for any assets under this path. Set up the Entry Form at .
- Triggers
- Specify which triggers to activate.
- Editing
- Specify which Click and Edit editor to use for the asset, either the Click and Edit 1.0 editor (more restrictive), or the WYSIWYG editor.
- AIS Mask
- Select an AIS Mask, if you have defined one, to control what objects can be used for this asset. The objects you can mask must be one of the following object type: AIS Properties, Publishing Objects, or Workflows.
- Encoding
- Choose whether to use the default encoding declared in the locale or whether to override the encoding locally.
- Machine Translation Configuration (for target assets)
- Select which Machine Translation configuration to use by default during lookups in the Browser Workbench, and for scoping. If no MT adapters have been configured, this AIS property does not display.
- Access Control
- Specify which users and groups have View, Read, Write, and Change permission to the folder. Note that Write permission assumes Read permission, and that Change permission assumes Read and Write permissions.
- Custom AIS Properties
-
Any custom properties that you have defined in with
AIS propertiesselected as the custom component type will be displayed on this page. For example, if you have created aProductproperty as a selector with values ofCar,Truck, andMotorcycle, this page will display these selector values. Having the asset associated with a product (in this example) could be used programmatically when making scoring decisions during TM lookups. For example, a match of “hand brake” might be assigned a different weight if the product wereMotorcyclethan if it wereCarorTruck.
For each property, a folder or asset has one of the following values:
- No value
- An inherited value (the default), which means that the folder or asset derives the value for that property from its hierarchical parent
- An explicit value, which means the folder or asset has a different value than its hierarchical parent
