Manage Taxonomy option

Function

Edit Taxonomy. For each taxonomy listed, the Actions column displays the following options:

  • Edit Taxonomy Properties - Opens the Edit Taxonomy Properties dialog for viewing or changing taxonomy name, version, and description.
  • Edit Facets & Terms - Opens the Edit Taxonomy Facets & Terms dialog for viewing or selecting existing facets, viewing existing terms hierarchically or alphabetically, or adding new facets and terms (instead of updating and re-importing the XML file).
  • Browse Taxonomy - Opens the Browse Taxonomy dialog to display all imported terms, as well as any existing data associations.
  • Manage Removed Terms - Displays if re-importing a taxonomy or manually removing terms breaks current associations with CommonSpot data. Use this option to reassign CommonSpot data to current terms. Once you create new associations for orphan data, this option no longer displays
  • Import Taxonomy - Opens the Import New Taxonomy dialog for updating the current taxonomy. Updating instead of replacing an existing taxonomy preserves all current associations between CommonSpot data and taxonomy terms.
  • Download Taxonomy - Opens or saves the taxonomy file.
