How to handle character limits for one large Excel cell that contains multiple sentences and that is segmented in the online Editor?
Single segments don't have a character limit each but the cell as a whole does have one. To have a clear vision on how the text will be imported to the online editor, the user needs to take a look at the text segmentation rules for this particular file format:
1) What are your document format settings for Excel when it comes to taking into account the SRX rules?
2) Have the character limitations been read from the Excel during import and how did you configure it exactly? Or did you manually set the limitations in the QA profile?
1) If you read out the values from the Excel and everything is correctly set, then Wordbee will import each segment from this big cell as one stand-alone segment. The text of the cell will be divided in different children segments, numbered as it follows: 1, 1.1, 1. 2 etc.. The maximum length value is assigned to the first segment and all related children segments will be dependent on it.
2) When running a QA check, all the children segments belonging to the same cell (1, 1.1, 1.2 etc.) will be compared against the total value of the cell assigned to segment 1. If the result it's above the limit, the user gets a QA warning/error.
New!
The new online Editor has the possibility to set the length limit for each segment
.
You just need to click on the 
icon at the top right corner of your target segment and take a look at the text size constraints:
The following popup window will open, allowing you to set up the limit for this particular segment (by default there are no length restrictions)
Trick!
You can also set the length for a group of segments on one go. You just need to run a filter to have them all displayed and select the set text length constraint function, from the actions menu.
