The dictionary manager
The dictionary manager is a window of its own for curating your dictionaries. It opens separately so you can keep it beside the main window while you work.
Opening it
Section titled “Opening it”Two ways in:
- The dictionaries button next to the profile selector in the main window.
- The dictionary control inside the profile editor (the button beside the dictionary dropdown).
The dictionary selector
Section titled “The dictionary selector”At the top, a dropdown lists every dictionary with its entry count in parentheses — Default (1342), Cliente Mediterrània (87). Pick one to browse its entries. Next to it, four actions:
- New (+) — create an empty dictionary.
- Rename (pencil) — rename the selected one.
- Duplicate (copy) — clone it, entries and all, into a new dictionary. Good for branching a client’s mappings without touching the original.
- Delete (trash) — remove it. The built-in Default dictionary can’t be deleted, so its delete button stays disabled.
The entries table
Section titled “The entries table”Below the toolbar, every entry as a row with four columns:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Original | The real value |
| Replacement | What it’s swapped to |
| Source file | The document this pair came from, or Manual if you typed it |
| Date | When the entry was created |
The Source file and Date columns are the audit trail: an entry added by an anonymization run records exactly which document introduced it, so months later you can see where “David Romero Gil” came from.
Searching
Section titled “Searching”The search box matches across originals, replacements, and source files. Hunt for a real name, the fake it maps to, or every entry that came from one document.
Hide original — a privacy switch
Section titled “Hide original — a privacy switch”Curating a dictionary means looking at a column full of real PII. The Hide original toggle blurs only the Original column, leaving replacements and source files readable. Flip it on when someone’s looking over your shoulder, when you’re screen-sharing, or when you just don’t need the real values visible to do the task at hand.
Copy out
Section titled “Copy out”Copy all as CSV copies the current (filtered) view as original,replacement rows for pasting into a spreadsheet or sharing a mapping set.
Cross-window sync
Section titled “Cross-window sync”The manager stays in step with the rest of the app. Add entries from a run, or edit them in another window, and the open manager refreshes — and dictionaries you change here are immediately available to profiles.
