You can use the field manager to create different types of custom fields and configure their appearance, location, and data type.
To open the field manager, do the following:
Click Terminology > Customization > Field Manager.
You'll get a list of existing custom fields.
Note
Acrolinx Terminology comes with a default set of custom fields.
To create a custom field, follow these steps:
-
Click New Custom Field.
-
Complete all fields in the 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:
-
Click the name of the field you wish to edit.
-
Complete all fields in the Custom Field Window.

Click Save.
To delete a custom field, follow these steps:
-
Select the fields you want to delete using the check boxes in the first column of the field list.
-
Click Delete.
-
The field name is removed from the field list, and the field is removed from the Terminology Manager interface.
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.
