<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>
