Adding Keywords

Create a Keyword to add a value to a Category or to create a subcategory of Keywords defining a deeper level of classification.

Before you begin

To add a Keyword (to a Category or Keyword), you must have Category Management rights and Write permissions for the Category.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Expand the Publication in which you want to create a Category and select a Category or Keyword.
  3. Open the Ribbon toolbar Create tab and click New Keyword.
    The New Keyword window opens.
  4. In the General tab, fill in the following fields:
    Value

    A text value which must be unique within the Category

    Description

    A description of the Keyword

    Key

    A text value that is unique across the BluePrint and that can be used to associate an external resource to the Keyword, for example a product ID.

    Abstract

    An abstract Keyword defines a generic quality or characteristic of an object or thing. An abstract Keyword contains a logical grouping of Keywords defining a deeper level of classification (concrete Keywords). You cannot classify content against abstract Keywords.

    A concrete Keyword defines a specific value against which you can classify content.

    For example, you would define Size as an abstract Keyword which contains child Keywords Small, Medium, and Large. A Component 'Shirt' cannot have as a value Size, but can be categorized as being Small, Medium, or Large.

    Related Keywords

    Select related Keywords to create non parent/child Keyword relationships such as see also links and related topics. For example, you can relate a Holiday Type Keyword to Sports Equipment Keyword.

    Parent Keywords

    Metadata Schema

    (optional) select a Metadata Schema and enter values in the fields that appear. A Keyword may have a default Metadata Schema assigned (at a Category level) which you can override.

    1. Click the Insert button next to the Related Keywords field.
    2. In the dialog, navigate to the Keyword you want to relate this Keyword to. Select a Keyword and click Insert.
