Upgrade StorageCovenient way to organize dictionary entries/definitions
Hi,
is there a convenient way to link entries such as dictionary entries/defintions to its source? Let's assume I've several dictionary entries/definitions that I want to manage within Zotero and also an entry for the source of those entries (the dictionary itself).
a) Is there a more convenient way to provide the reference to the dictionary (e.g. Dictionary Title) for each entry other than repeatedly enter it?
b) Is there a way to automatically generate a glossary from those definitions?
c) if not, are those features that are generally needed?
Cheers

a) If you are manually entering a batch of items with a bunch of identical fields make an entry that with all the common fields and then duplicate it. Keep that common field item around if you will be manually entering items like it in the future.
b) Combining the power of saved searches with report generation could probably help you here. Create a saved search for all items with the type Dictionary entry, or where Dictionary Title is Websters, whatever works for your situation. Then generate a report. You can even reorginize your report by appending the URL. See the reports page.
thanks for your suggestions; I wasn't aware of the report generation functionality. Quite useful for glossary generations :)
