Saving termbase definitions

You can save the termbase definition for any MultiTerm termbase to an *.xdt file and then use the *.xdt file as a template for creating new termbases.

About this task

An *.xdt file contains index and field information from the source termbase, but not from termbase objects such as layouts and input models.

*.xdt files are also created when you convert data to MultiTerm XML format.

Procedure

  1. Go to File > Open Termbase from the Ribbon.
    • Server termbases: Select Servers to set up the available servers, and Login to connect to a specific server. Select for each termbase you want to open, and select OK.
    • Local termbases: Select Browse to open a *.sdltb file. Select for each termbase you want to open, and select OK.
  2. Open the Termbase Management view.
  3. Under the termbase name, right-click Definition and select Save.
  4. Save the *.xdt file.
