If you have categories that are organized hierarchically, you can configure the Terminology Manager to display all category fields in a tree view. This is useful if you have complex hierarchical data structures that might be difficult to view in a standard field view. The tree view for category-based fields is similar to the tree view used on the category manager page.
By default, category-based fields have a standard list view. For example, below you can see that the category non-term includes two subcategories, stopword and no-single-term.

In the tree view, the hierarchical relationships between categories are easier to see. You can expand and collapse categories that have subcategories.

Tip
If you're on an Acrolinx Private Cloud 
instance and are interested in these configurations, contact us and we'll set them for you!
If you're a Standard Stack user, you can edit the coreserver.properties from the configuration directory. Depending on your installation, your path might look like this:
<config directory>/server/bin/coreserver.properties.
To configure category-based fields to display in tree view on a Standard Stack instance, follow these steps:
-
Open the
coreserver.properties. -
Add the following property:
dashboard.useHierarchicalCategorySelector=true
-
Save your changes and restart the Acrolinx Platform.
Note
Important: There are currently two usability issues to consider when configuring the tree view. First, the tree view is currently unavailable for category-based fields that appear in the term import wizard. Secondly, a category-based field can obscure the OK button in the filter menu when the tree view is fully expanded.
