Title	WorldServer - How can I make sure that TM entries with mapped AIS attributes are set to a higher ranking when leveraging?

URL Name	000007071

Summary	The WorldServer metadata-based ranking feature allows you to define TM attributes and AIS properties that represent user-defined logical boundaries. For instance, to align translatable content and its translations by “business group”, you can create an AIS property that defines the value for a collection of assets. You would also define a TM attribute that stores this value for each generated TM entry. After the mapped AIS properties and TM attributes are defined, the lookup process can compare the values associated with the asset to that of the TM entries being matched. The leverage process will prefer the TM entry that contains mapped attribute values that match the mapped AIS properties of the asset being leveraged. More details in this article.

Question

How can I make sure that TM entries with mapped attributes are set to a higher ranking when leveraging?

Answer

The WorldServer metadata-based ranking feature allows you to define TM attributes and AIS properties that represent user-defined logical boundaries. For instance, to align translatable content and its translations by “business group”, you can create an AIS property that defines the value for a collection of assets. You would also define a TM attribute that stores this value for each generated TM entry.

After the mapped AIS properties and TM attributes are defined, the lookup process can compare the values associated with the asset to that of the TM entries being matched. The leverage process will prefer the TM entry that contains mapped attribute values that match the mapped AIS properties of the asset being leveraged.

Metadata-based ranking is disabled by default. To use this feature, AIS properties need to be mapped to TM attributes, and the following TM configuration property must be explicitly enabled.

rank_based_on_ais_tm_attribute_match=true

This property determines whether the system should allow for mapped attributes to affect the ranking process.
