You can use the field manager to create different types of custom fields and configure their appearance, location, and data type.
Note
Acrolinx Terminology comes with a default set of custom fields.
To create a custom field, follow these steps:
-
Go to Style > Terminology > Custom fields.
-
Click New custom field and complete all fields in the Add new custom field window.
Note
To create fields with the data type Category, you may first need to create data categories in the Category Manager.
-
Click Save.
-
Add the field to the page layout.
To edit a custom field, follow these steps:
-
Go to Style > Terminology > Custom fields.
-
Click the name of the field you wish to edit. Complete all fields in the Edit custom field window.
-
Click Save.
To delete a custom field, follow these steps:
-
Go to Style > Terminology > Custom fields.
-
Select the fields you want to delete and click Delete.
The field name is removed from the field list, and you'll no longer find the field in your terminology.
Warning
When you delete a field, you also delete the information stored within that field for all terms. This action can impact any terminology management or localization process that depends on the field.
Make sure you remove deleted fields from the layout of the term edit page.
