Create a Term

Use the New term screen to add a new term to the thesaurus.

To save time, you can import thesaurus terms from a file if you've previously exported one.

To link a new term to an existing thesaurus term, use the Link to new command that displays when you right-click in the Tree pane of the Thesaurus Maintenance screen.

 

To add a new term to the thesaurus:

  1. Select Admin > System > Thesaurus > Maintain.

  2. Right-click in the Tree pane > Select New term.

  3. In the Term field, enter the term you want to add to the thesaurus.

    The term can be more than one word.

  4. Select the Preferred checkbox if this is the preferred term.

  5. In the Qualifier field, enter a qualifier.

    If the term has more than one meaning, depending on context, enter a qualifier what it means.

  6. Select OK.

    If the term is related to other words in the thesaurus, specify those links.
