5.5.3. Importing an existing CV
Document Actions
Instead of creating a Controlled Vocabulary again every time ELAN also supports the
possibility to reuse existing CV's. A first way to achieve this is to use a template
file that contains a CV when creating a new *.eaf file. (See Section 4.2.1) Alternatively you can import a CV for already
existing files:
select
Click on
Select the template from which you want to import a CV
Choose
Now all CV's that are stored in the selected template file will be imported
If you try to import a CV with the same name as an already existing CV a dialog will pop up asking what to do:
: ignore the CV from the template
: overwrite the existing CV with that from the template
: opens a dialog asking you to give a new name for the imported CV
: entries from the imported CV that are not in an existing CV are imported.
