Custom elements

Concepts in a thesaurus can have custom properties and be related to each other with custom relations that you can either define or find already defined in imported thesauri.

You can manage the definitions of custom properties and custom relations for the thesaurus in the Custom Properties & Relations panel of the Resources tab of the project dashboard.

To open the Custom Properties & Relations panel:

1. Select the Resources tab on the main toolbar of the project dashboard.
2. Select Toggle custom elements on the toolbar of the Resources panel on the left.

To close the Custom Properties & Relations panel, select Toggle custom elements again.

You manage custom properties and custom relations for a concept when you edit it.

Custom properties

1. To define a new custom property select the plus button beside the Custom properties label in the left column of the panel. The Create custom property dialog is displayed.

   

   Note

   String and number properties can have a single value or multiple values.

2. Select the field type in Field Type and the value in Value.

3. Type a label for your property in Label.

4. In case you have groups of properties, type the group name in Group. In case of no results when you type, you're offered to create one.

   Note

   In case you don't type any group for the property, a default one will be created at the end of the process.

5. Type an optional description and select Save.

   Warning

   The removal of a property determines the deletion of all its values defined in the Custom properties.

Custom relations

1. To define a new custom relation select the plus button beside the Custom relations label in the right column of the panel. The Create custom relation dialog is displayed.

   

   Note

   Relations can be single—that is one-to-one—or multi—that is one-to-many.

2. Select the value in Value.

3. Type a label for your property in Label.
4. In case you have groups of properties, type the group name in Group. In case of no results when you type, you're offered to create one.

5. Type an optional description and select Save.

   Warning

   The removal of a relation determines the deletion of all the corresponding links between concepts defined in the Custom relations.
