Creating terms

Last modified: March 10, 2006 - 17:05

Once you have finished defining the vocabulary, you may populate it with terms. When creating a term, note that the available options may depend on what was selected for related terms, hierarchy and multiple select when creating the vocabulary:

  • Term name (Required) -- The name for this term. Example: Technology.
  • Description (Optional) -- Description of the term (this item may be used by some modules and feeds).
  • Parent (Required) -- Select the term under which this term is a subset -- the branch of the hierarchy that this term belongs under (only required when heirarchy is enabled for the vocabulary).
  • Synonyms (Optional) -- Enter synonyms for this term, one synonym per line. Synonyms can be used for variant spellings, acronyms, and other terms that have the same meaning as the added term, but which are not explicitly listed in this thesaurus, i.e. unauthorized terms (this item not used by many Drupal modules).
  • Weight (Optional) -- The weight is used to sort the terms of this vocabulary (see explanation of weight above).
