Fill the descriptive fields of the termbank with information

Good evening,

I've added a termbase (Terminologiedatenbank) to my project. When I created the termbase I've added several descriptive fields.

Beschreibende Felder:
Bild
Definition
Quelle
Genus
Auftragsnummer
Boolescher Wert Ja/Nein
Datum
Kontext

How can I fill these later with pictures etc.?

I don't see anything like "add field" ("Feld hinzufügen"), and I also don't see it when I open the termbase in Multiterm.

Could you please help?

Kind regards,

GS

  • I would put the definition at the Index level (Sprachebene). If you want a separate definition per language, you may in addition also put it at the term level.

    Also, I would remove "Quelle" from the entry level. This field only makes sense at the term level because you want to say where you found the translation of that term in that specific language. 
    In addition, I can't see any use for the fields "Datum", "Auftragsnummer" and "Boolescher Wert". What purpose should they fulfil? The same applies to "Genus", which may be useful, provided the software is able to adapt terms to plural/male/female, which MultiTerm does not. 

    "Kontext" is a very useful field, but there is no need to attach a "Quelle" to it.

    Finally, I strongly suggest to add a picklist field called "Status" with values such as "Approved", "Forbidden", "Deprecated", etc. This will allow you to also store terms that should not be used in the translation (especially in conjunction with the Terminology Verification function of Studio).

    Copy-pasting of text into a field worked fine for me (CTRL-C + CTRL-V).
