How to add new SUBJECTs in a termbase? & a series of MultiTerm questions...

Question

Hi! I have a complete termbase with 5XX terms, I would like to 1) add new subjects to it (I'm currently having them in NOTE) 2) is it possible to have sub-categories? for example: SPORT can have subcategories like SPORT/ICESKATING or SPORT/BASKETBALL 3) how can I add images to them? 
 
 Do I need to create a new termbase? And how do I do that I do need to create a new one? 
 Thank you!!!

I'm using Trados 2022.

Hello, 
 Adding new subjects, sub-categories, and images to your termbase in MultiTerm is possible and you don't necessarily need to create a new termbase. Here's how you can do it: 
 Step 1: Open your termbase in MultiTerm. 
 Step 2: Go to the 'Termbase' menu and select 'Define Structure'. 
 Step 3: In the 'Define Structure' dialog box, you can add new fields for your subjects and sub-categories. You can also add a field for images. 
 Step 4: To add sub-categories, you can create a hierarchical picklist. This allows you to create a main category (e.g., SPORT) and then add sub-categories (e.g., ICESKATING, BASKETBALL) under it. 
 Step 5: To add images, create a new field and set the data type to 'Multimedia'. This will allow you to add images to your terms. 
 Step 6: Once you've defined your structure, you can start adding your subjects, sub-categories, and images to your terms. 
 If you find that your current termbase structure doesn't meet your needs, you can create a new termbase: 
 Step 1: Go to the 'Termbase' menu and select 'Create Termbase'. 
 Step 2: Follow the wizard to define your termbase structure, including any fields for subjects, sub-categories, and images. 
 Step 3: Once your termbase is created, you can start adding your terms. 
 Remember to save your changes regularly to avoid losing any data. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
