Checking the Confidence Level of User Dictionary Entries
Display Confidence as a UD column by checking the box in the Dictionary Columns
toolbox (refer to Managing Dictionary Columns on page 93). The Confidence feature
measures and displays the level of confidence the software has in the accuracy of
coded User Dictionary entries. You should validate any entry that shows a low
confidence level.
1. Double-click the gray box at the far left of an entry to check its confidence
level. SDM will check the entry, and the length and color of the bar in the
Confidence column show the confidence level of the entry. A confidence
symbol also appears in the Status column next to the entry.
Symbol Description
The coding of the entry is evaluated as good by IntuitiveCoding.
The coding of the entry has been validated through ExpertCoding.
This is the highest level of validation.
The target language entry does not correlate well with the source
language entry or a term is unknown or seems irregular to
IntuitiveCoding. A message appears in the Status Bar of the SDM
screen. The entry will be used in the translation, but will probably
require additional coding to work as expected.
SDM cannot find any correlation between the source and target
language entries or a term cannot be coded at all. The entry will not
apply in the translation and needs to be corrected.
Not yet coded.
