Add Term Statuses, Head Terms, or Domains

  • Updated

Add a Term Status

You can use the category manager to rename the statuses or to add more substatuses. However, you can’t add new statuses or remove existing statuses.

To add a new substatus, follow these steps:

  1. Click Terminology > Customization > Category Manager.

  2. Follow the procedure to create a sublist item in the topic Create, Edit, and Delete Categories and List Items.

Add a Head Term

A Term Entry is a group of linked terms that describe a distinct concept in one or more languages. You can group by term entry.

A Head Term is a term that represents a term entry as a human-friendly identifier (Based on ISO 12620 A.2.1.1.). In the Dashboard, you can recognize head terms by the head term icon 6166047.png.

If you're editing a term and you want to make it the head term, click Set to Head Term in the Basic Information tab.

The function Set to Head Term is part of the "Is Head Term" field. Not everyone has this field in their term layout. If you can't see it, ask your administrator to add this field by customizing your term edit layout.

Notice

In Acrolinx Terminology, all term entry fields are stored and edited in the Head Term record. Standard terms inherit some information such as the definition from head terms. When you import terms, it’s important to remember that the term entry fields in a head term always override the corresponding fields in the linked terms. For more information about term entry fields, see the topic Using the Custom Field Window

Add a New Domain

To add a new domain, follow these steps:

  1. Click Terminology >Customization > Category Manager.

  2. Follow the procedure Create List Items.
