Berlin Text System General

Expanding the "Berlin Text System General" will present the following options:

Abstract Text Settings

Configuration

Currently the only available option is Altägyptisches Wörterbuch (AAEW) (10). Click "Apply" to use this configuration. Click "Restore Default" to go back to the default configuration.

Corpus Settings

Here you can choose a set of corpora you are going to work with. Every corpus that does not appear in the Active corpora list on the right won't be accessed by BTS. To activate a corpus select it in the list on the left and then click "Add". To remove the corpus from your working list, select it and click Remove. Add all / Remove all will add or remove all available corpora to or from the Active Corpora list.

The check-box "Activate to select main working corpus" has a specific function. If it is activated all new text or database objects created in the "Corpus Navigator" window will be physically saved in the selected corpus. For example in the Corpus Navigator you have selected Corpus 2, but your main working corpus is Corpus 1. The new database object will be physically saved in Corpus 1, although in the Corpus Navigator it is displayed as a part of Corpus 2.

Corpus Navigator Settings

Check box "Corpus Navigator sort by sort key". By default, all objects on the same level have "0" as a sort key and are thus sorted alphabetically. Defining a SortKey in the Passport data of the object will change its position regarding other objects, "0" being on top. See Main Tab.

Default Visibility applies to all newly created objects. Defines a visibility status a corpus will have by default after its creation.

Default Review State applies to all newly created objects. Like the "Default Visibility" above, this defines a review state which a corpus will have directly after its creation.

Lemma List Settings

Here you can choose a project with a main working lemma list. All new lemmas will be saved in this project. You can currently choose Altägyptisches Wörterbuch BBAW and Demotic. If you chose both, the combined lemma list will be displayed in "Lemma Navigator"

Lemma Navigator Settings

Check box "Lemma Navigator sort by sort key". Per default all objects on the same level have "0" as a sort key and are thus sorted alphabetically. Defining a "SortKey" in the Passport data of the object will change its position relevant to other objects, "0" being on top.

Default Visibility applies to all newly created objects. Defines a visibility status a lemma will have by default after its creation.

Default Review State applies to all newly created objects. Like the "Default Visibility" above, this defines a review state which a lemma will have directly after its creation.

Lemmatizer

The Lemmatizer allows you to set a default inflection (the programmes default inflection is "3") and activate the check box "Automatically select first lemma proposal". More on grammatical rules see BTS Grammar Rules - Reference.

Project settings

Here you can choose your main working project from the drop-down menu. The field below gives you an option to choose further projects from which you want to load and read data. In the box on the left is a list of available projects. Clicking on one will give you an option to add it to the "Projects to be downloaded" on the right. Clicking on Apply below will download the project. Between the two fields you also have an option to remove the project from the right field and to "Add All" from available to to-be-downloaded and "Remove All" from to-be-downloaded to available. Next to the "Apply" button there is also one that will restore default settings "Restore Default".

Remember me

Select the check box "Remember my login credentials on startup" to be logged in automatically, when starting BTS.

Text Editor

Activate mouse-over pop-up with information on lemmata. Activating this option will display the lemmatization information about the selected lemma in the Text editor (currently unavailable).

Show line number ruler on left side. This check box activates the line numbering (of the window) in the Text editor.

Sign Text Editor

Defines elements displayed in the lemma-boxes while editing tokens inside the Sign Text Editor. Additionally, the line width can be adjusted by changing the number in the "Line width in pixel" input field.

The applied changes will be visible upon refreshing the view of the "Sign Text Editor" tab.

Thesaurus Settings

Here you can choose a project with a main working thesaurus. All new thesaurus entries will be saved there. Currently only one working thesaurus is available "Altägyptisches Wörterbuch BBAW".

Thesaurus Navigator Settings

Check box "Ths Navigator sort by sort key". Per default all objects on the same level have "0" as a sort key and are thus sorted alphabetically. Defining a "SortKey" in the Passport data of the object will change its position relevant to other objects, "0" being on top.

Default Visibility applies to all newly created objects. Defines a visibility status a thesaurus entry will have by default after its creation.

Default Review State applies to all newly created objects. Like the Default Visibility above, this defines a review state which a thesaurus entry will have directly after its creation.
