Annotating Text Fields
You can edit text fields of a segment and marker or restriction comments in the Storyboard tab. In doing so, most common features of text editing tools are available, such as inserting text at a selected position, marking text you want to overwrite, copying, pasting, and deleting, and so on.
You can use standard keyboard shortcuts to cut text or copy text to the system clipboard, or paste text from the system clipboard. This includes the ability to copy text from external sources such as documents or Web pages and to paste the text as marker notes or segment annotation. The text is pasted without formatting. You can also do the reverse: copy marker or segment text and paste it into an external source, such as Notepad.
Note that the input in text fields can be limited:
• For Production Management assets, marker text has a limit of 32,000 characters for each marker. If marker text exceeds this limit, a warning message tells you that the text exceeds the corresponding kilobytes data limit.
• For Asset Management assets, input can be limited for each text property by the configuration in the data model.
If the text input exceeds the limitation, a pop-up “It is not possible to save text with more than <X> characters” is shown. When the property is saved, the text that exceeds the allowed range is cut.
• Pasting a huge amount of text (about 100,000 characters and more) into a text property might cause the browser page to hang.
