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. Group content by file folders or extension. 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.
• Group by root folder: Files inside the same root folder will be added into the same job.
• Group by file extension: Files with the same extension (.docx, .html...) will be added into the same job.

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

Group content by root folder

Select the "RootFolder" option in the screen above and save the settings. 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 category is "".
• A job with segments from "brochure.docx" and "another.html". The category is "marketing" in both cases.
• A job with segments from "documentation.docx" and "documentation.html". The category is "technical".

Group content by file extension

Select the "FileExtension" option in the screen above and save the settings. You will obtain two jobs:

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

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

Configuring job references

You may now want to include the category with the job reference. Go to the project settings page and edit the job reference format:

The {category} placeholder is replaced by the job category. This is what we get from the example further up:

Where can I see the category of my jobs?

The category of a job is shown in various places:
