Keyword Dictionaries

Scroll

Keyword Dictionaries are lists of pre-defined text strings which can be added to a category as a keyword index field. When documents are saved to that category a keyword can be selected from a drop-down list. When a document is searched for, a keyword value can be selected to narrow down the search results.

 

Info

Keywords are index values of type: text string. The maximum length is 60 characters.

Keywords should be kept short, especially if used in a Multiple Keyword field.

By default, keyword lists are limited to 300 entries. If more than 300 keywords are added, only the first 300 will be shown in the drop-down list. This limit can be edited in Advanced settings using the Max Size of Keyword List under the General object.  

 

 

Right-clicking on the Keyword Dictionaries object opens a context menu.

Export...

Thereforeā„¢ provides a means of exporting configuration definitions for Keyword Dictionaries. Thereforeā„¢ lets you export a single Keyword Dictionary, or a set of Keyword Dictionaries. These definitions are exported to an XML file. Exported configuration files can then be imported into other Thereforeā„¢ systems, saving the time and effort of re-creating keyword definitions from scratch.  

 

Security Report...

The security report contains all security settings for all keyword dictionaries. It allows you to document the final security configuration after installing a system. The security report is stored as a ".csv" file which can be viewed with Microsoft Excel.

 

Security...

This displays the security dialog for keyword dictionaries (see Keyword Dictionary Security).

 

Right-clicking on a specific keyword dictionary object opens another context menu.
