Modifying Vocabulary Terms

To modify a vocabulary term, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vocabulary Manager Home screen, click any hyperlinked vocabulary to go to the Vocabulary Details screen for the selected vocabulary.
2. On the Vocabulary Details screen, select a term from the Vocabulary Items list and click the Edit link to open the Update Vocabulary Term screen.
3. If the vocabulary term was imported with its own external ID, a Term ID text box is present. Enter the term’s external ID in the Term ID text box.

   This text box only appears if you imported the vocabulary with its own external ID by selecting the Has IDs check box in the Add Vocabularies screen. See Adding Local Vocabularies.

4. Type the description text for the identifier in the Description text box.
5. Select the vocabulary type from the Term Type drop-down list.
6. Select the status from the Status drop-down list.
7. If the vocabulary term is linked to a Zynx term, any linked terms appear in the Linked Zynx Term(s) area. View or add link notes in the Link Note(s) area at the bottom of the screen.
8. Click the Save button. If the term was added successfully, the term will appear in the Vocabulary Items list on the Vocabulary Details screen.

When you select a term to modify from the Vocabulary Details screen, the fields on the Modify Term screen are automatically populated with the appropriate information. Change any of the details (Description, Term Type, Status) except the Term ID, and then click the Save button. You can also delete a vocabulary term by clicking Delete.
