Instructions for Language Forge users

At this time, Language Forge does not support creating, configuring, or removing custom fields natively. These changes must be made in FLEx, and in synchronization with Language Forge.

Follow these instructions:

  1. All FLEx users and a Language Forge admin must do a Send/Receive. No one except the computer in step 2 may make any changes until step 4.
  2. Once step 1 is fully complete, the computer adding the custom field must do Send/Receive one more time.
  3. Create the custom field in FieldWorks, and do a Send/Receive after you finish configuring the project. (Do NOT change or create any project data yet; it's best if the changes in this Send/Receive ONLY include the new custom field(s) and nothing else).
  4. Everyone on the team does another Send/Receive (including an administrator on Language Forge) so that they receive the field change.
  5. Resume working normally.

The above protocol also applies to:

  • configuring custom field properties
  • removing custom fields
  • Editing input and writing systems
