The Entry Editor

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Entry Editor is a small piece of software that is designed specifically for editing your project. Before tackling the Entry Editor you should first make sure you are familiar with the DPS Workflow so that you understand where the Entry Editor fits in. Using the Entry Editor you can access the DPS Website and download data to your own computer. From there you can work on your project and then upload finished entries to the database.

The Entry Editor is primarily used by editors and lexicographers, however other users (such as System Administrators and Project Managers) need to be familiar with how the Entry Editor works.

The following chapters cover the key functions of the Entry Editor. These chapters are arranged in roughly the same order you would follow when working on entries, so Users are advised to consult the document in a linear fashion.
