Question
How do I configure my WorldServer environment to map an AIS property to a TM entry attribute?
Answer
1- The first step is to make sure that this value is seto to true in tm.properties:

map_ais_property_to_same_named_tm_attribute=true 

Note: per default, this value is set to false. Once changed, a WorldServer restart needs to be done in order for the change to take effect.

2- Under Management > Administration > Customization, in the Custom component type: field, select AIS Properties in the drop-down menu. The page displaying your available AIS Properties will be displayed

3- To add a new AIS Property, click on Add. Typically, you would choose a Property of type Selector in order to be able to select the relevant value between more than one value. However, you could select another type such a Text Field if required. This is an example of how such AIS Property could look like:

4- Still under  Management > Administration > Customization, in the Custom component type: field, select Attributes in the drop-down menu. Your available Attributes will be displayed.

5- Click on Add to create a  new TM entry attribute with the same name as the AIS Property (for instance Product). This is how it could look like:

6- Now you need to configure your relevant Project Type(s). AIS Properties are visible in the Available AIS Properties section of your Project Types. When you create or edit a Project Type, you will be able to move the AIS Property to the Selected AIS Properties. By doing so, you will see the AIS Property as a project attribute when you create a project using this Project Type.

Here is an example:

7- When creating a new Project with a Project Type where AIS Properties are enabled, you will find the AIS Property displaying as a Project Attribute and you will be able to select the relevant value(s) while creating the project. Here is an example of how the AIS Property looks like during project creation:

8- The Translation Memory associated with the Project Type used to create a project will be updated with the AIS Property value selected during project creation. Therefore, when a translated segment is saved to the TM, the translation unit in the TM will have the TM Entry attribute visible.

Below you see a TM where the column corresponding to the TM Entry attribute has been enabled. You can see several TM Entries where the TM Entry attribute is set to product6, which is the value selected while creating the project from which the TM entries come from.
