Configure a General Resource

Do this Help topic if you want to configure a general resource so that its segments (chunks) match the passages as set in the Sections & Passages tab

Do these steps:

  1. In the Work view click a step that uses the Internalize tool.

  2. Click the Add button and then click Uploads.

The Add button will not appear if you are offline but working in a project that is normally online.

The Upload Resources dialog box appears.

  1. Drag and drop an audio file into the box, or click the box and browse for an audio file.

  2. Optionally, type a description of that audio file the Description field.

If you do not type one, the file name will appear. This would be best if you are uploading multiple audio files.

  1. Click the Category down arrow () and then click a category for that audio file.

If necessary, click Add New Category PIC. Click the New Category line and type a word or two to distinguish the new category. Click PIC to add the new category to the resource category list and as the category for the current resource.

  2. Click Upload.

The General Resources dialog box appears.

However, the start-stop time numbers still need to be correct for correct playback.

Note

To copy and paste start-stop times, the spreadsheet data must have the same layout (either flat or hierarchical).

Usually, the spreadsheet contents will have originally come from a project in which Copy to Clipboard was used.

If you manually type the start-stop times, reference data and descriptions in a spreadsheet, the Reference column data must be exactly identical. Any difference in spaces or data will cause a message to appear. You might need to get more help.

Tip: Copy Reference column data from the dialog box and paste it into your spreadsheet to make sure it is correct. Then you can try to paste from the spreadsheet again.
