Building a channel requires to follow some or all of the configuration steps described hereafter. Each one of them corresponds to a tab in the Edit Channel screen. They are described in the following topic:

Channels

When going through these steps to configure your channel, you will have access to different functions made available by Babelway. These functions will be available each time their use may be relevant. For easier reference, they are grouped in three level categories that are described in the next topics:

In addition to these building tools, you have access to three additional commands applying to a channel as a whole:

Duplicate a Channel : this command create a new channel that is a copy of the current one. This new channel is completely independant of the original one as all its components have been duplicated and from now on these components exist beside and indepedently of the original ones. This is very useful if you want to create similar channels without starting again from scratch.

An active channel duplicate is created with the deactivated status.

Delete a Channel : this command erases the current channel.

You cannot delete an active channel. It must be deactivated first.

(De)activate a Channel : this command allows you to activate or deactivate a channel.

To activate a channel, its configuration must be complete with test cases. Otherwise this command will not be available.

Do not forget that activation and deactivation will only take place at next channel deployment.
