Editing Thesaurus Properties
Thesauruses are mostly used to provide larger sets of invariant terms that can be assigned as values to a property. The terms of a thesaurus are organized in a tree structure. When you type three or more letters, the thesaurus is filtered to show only terms containing these letters. The path of the term within the thesaurus is shown in brackets.
• For Asset Management, the terms of a thesaurus are created in the Thesaurus Administrator app. Asset Management provides a set of preconfigured thesauruses that you can use.
• For Production Management, an administrator has to create a custom property that includes a list with a hierarchy of options and sub-options in the Interplay Administrator application, before this hierarchical list can be used in the Metadata tab. By default, no hierarchical lists are configured in the Interplay Administrator.
