Job content categorization

By default, when you or the system creates a job, the job may contain translatable segments coming from any file in the project. This default behavior is just fine in most cases, but not all.

You have two means to separate content across jobs:

• Have Beebox create a separate job per each file (one job = one file). Simply configure your project for single file jobs. No need to read further.
• Use content categorization. This is what this page is all about.

Configuring content categorization

Go to the project settings page and navigate to the job settings:

Select categorization option:

• No categorization: The default. A job can contain any content from any file.
• Root folder: Only files in the same root folder will be added to the same job. If there are many root folders in your project, there will be as many jobs.
• File extension: Only files with the exact same file extension will be added to the same job. If you have ".doc" and ".html" files, it will create two separate jobs.

Example: Categorize by file root folder

Select the "RootFolder" option in the screen above and save the settings.

Let's assume our project "in" directory contains these files:

in\
	file1.docx
	file2.docx
	marketing\
		brochure.docx
		sub\
			another.html
	technical\
		documentation.docx
		documentation.html

When you now create jobs, manually or using Autorun, you will get three jobs:

• A job with segments from "file1.docx" and "file2.docx". The root folder is "".
• A job with segments from "brochure.docx" and "another.html". The root folder is "marketing" in both cases.
• A job with segments from "documentation.docx" and "documentation.html". The root folder is "technical".

Note: A job has a configurable maximum size limit. With big or many files the system may create multiple jobs per root folder.

Example: Categorize by file extension

Select the "FileExtension" option in the screen above and save the settings.

With the same sample files from above, you will get two jobs:

• A job with segments from "file1.docx", "file2.docx", "brochure.docx" and "documentation.docx". The extension is "docx" in all cases.
