Open Database Manager
IMAGE: Images/database_manager_start.jpg
In online working mode your BTS constantly communicates with the server database, updating the local database and sending new data to the server. This process of synchronization is displayed in "Database Manager" window.
The corpora, which were correctly synchronized ("indexed") are marked green in the Database Manager table. Red-colored rows were not correctly indexed. The number of documents per corpus is shown in the column "DB Doc Co...". BTS works only with corpora, which were correctly synchronised and indexed.
"Re-Index all" indexes all available corpora. This can take up to 60 minutes.
"Re-Index all non-OK" indexes all rows marked yellow (currently indexed) or red (problem detected). This is usually the faster option.
Specific corpora can also be reindexed individually. For this scroll and click "Re-Index" in a corpus's row.
Preferences...
In your Preferene Settings you can e.g. choose your main working corpus, which corpora you like to generally work with or import and define templates.

Beneath this you can choose a set of corpora to work on. 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 left list 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 avaiable corpora to/from the "Active Corpora" list.
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 dowload 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".
