View source for Add a translation of a new text


This is the procedure to follow if you wish to add a translation but the relative inscription '''is not yet''' in the database.

* From the menu list on the left select "CREATE A NEW ITEM"
* In the "LABEL" box enter the bibliographical abbreviation (AE, CIL, IG, etc)
* In the "DESCRIPTION" box type the title of the inscription, e.g. Dedication to Antoninus Pius
* Click the "CREATE" button

Insert the additional yet '''compulsory''' identification numbers, such as a TM, idest, EDH, EDR etc, and add them as separate "STATEMENTS":

* click the "ADD" button

A blue form will appear so that you can insert your data:

* Begin with the "STATEMENTS" box and start typing the kind of data you want to insert, e.g. Trismegistos identifier, idest, EDR identifier.
* The system will automatically suggest the correct statement (for the list of statements, cfr. infra).
* Type the value of the information in the other box, that is the proper identification number, e.g. 12345

* Click the "SAVE" button!

''Repeat the procedure for each identification number you have.''


N.B.

The system recognizes identification numbers and automatically creates a links between the statement added and the Content Provider's website.


'''It is vital that you do not create items without a TM, EDH, EDR, EDB, etc. id number, as it will be very complicated to connect the record you created to the rest of the database.'''
