Instead of creating a Controlled Vocabulary again every time
ELAN also supports the possibility to reuse existing CVs. 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 CVs 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.
