Project structure

In order for jobs to be attached to the right part of a project, a structure of "nodes" is created automatically with the following hierarchy. 

  • Project (top level, there can be only one)
    • Part (an episode, a trailer, etc.) 
      • Language (a target language to localize into)

All Plint workflow logic takes these nodes into account, whether you are manually attaching a job to one of these nodes or if you are applying a joblist template to create a thousand jobs automatically. 

Please note that parts can have labels and other additional information which can be used to clarify their use, such as an episode name or an identifier string or number for matching against filenames or external systems. 

Simple sample structure

A three-part project with three target languages would result in the following structure. Note that for each part, all target languages are repeated. 

  • Project: 
    • Part 1
      • Swedish
      • Danish
      • Finnish
    • Part 2
      • Swedish
      • Norwegian
      • Finnish
    • Trailer
      • Swedish 
      • Norwegian
      • Finnish
