| <H3 ALIGN="CENTER">View 4. The Groups Tab</H3> |
| <P>The Groups tab view, like all tab views, looks and functions differently |
| when working with the resource bundle as a whole than when working with |
| an individual resource file. For an overview of this difference see <A HREF="view1.html">View |
| 1</A>. RB Manager adds a level of heirarchy not commonly found in resource |
| bundles. This addtional level is called Groups. For more information on |
| Resource Groups see the <A HREF="../tutorial/index.html">Tutorial</A>.</P> |
| <P><B>Working with a Resource Bundle</B></P> |
| <P>The screen shot below shows RB Manager and a view of groups for the entire |
| resource bundle.</P> |
| <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_groups_bundle.gif" WIDTH="671" HEIGHT="543"></P> |
| <P>Unlike the Untranslated tab view, this view allows the editing of resources. |
| Editing or adding resources at this level affects the resource bundle |
| as a whole. Thus if a resource has all ready been translated in a resource |
| file, it will be marked as untranslated to reflect the change in the entire |
| bundle.</P> |
| <P>Editing a resource is as simple as selecting the group from the drop |
| down box at the top of the screen, double clicking a resource, making |
| the desired change, and clicking 'Edit' on the dialog box resulting from |
| the double click. Optionally, the resource can be edited by selecting |
| it and pressing the 'Edit Resource' button instead of double clicking.</P> |
| <P>The Resource Group can also be edited. The name and comment associate |
| with the group can be changed by pressing the 'Edit Group' button. Pressing |
| the 'Delete Group' button will delete both the group and all resources |
| contained within it. A dialog will prompt you when this button is pressed |
| to make sure this is what you intend to do.</P> |
| <P>Resources created in the Group view will by default be placed in the |
| group currently being shown. This can be changed however by selecting |
| another group name from the resource creation dialog box.</P> |
| <P>This view is probably the most commonly used view by developers inserting |
| new resources into a bundle.</P> |
| <P><B>Working with a Resource File</B></P> |
| <P>The next screen shot shows the Group tab view when working with an individual |
| resource file.</P> |
| <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/view_groups_file.gif" WIDTH="671" HEIGHT="543"></P> |
| <P>The functionality of this view mostly mirrors that of the Untranslated |
| tab view. More on that view is found in <A HREF="view3.html">View 3</A>. |
| The only addition is that resources all ready marked as translated can |
| be seen and edited from this view. Selecting a group from the drop down |
| box will update the display with all resources, translated or not, from |
| that group.</P> |
