Adding Keywords to fields
You use Keywords to classify your content. Keywords define a classification scheme (visualized as a taxonomy tree) that provides a knowledge map of your data. Applying these Keywords to Component fields or metadata fields allows you to define relationships between content.
Before you begin
You can select the value for a field from a list of Keywords if the Schema field is associated with a Category.
For more information on defining Schemas and Taxonomies (Categories and Keywords), see the implementer's documentation portal.
About this task
The allowed fields in a Component, or the allowed Metadata fields in various Content Manager items, are defined in a Schema. When you create a Component, for example, you must first select a Schema after which the fields defined in the Schema are displayed for that Component. If a Schema field is defined as a list field based on a Category, you can choose one or more values from a list of Keywords. A list field may be presented as a drop-down list, select box, radio buttons, check boxes, or tree list.
You can use Keywords to define Component fields or metadata fields for the following:
- Component fields (in the General tab)
- Component or Multimedia Component metadata fields (in the Metadata tab)
- Category and Keyword metadata fields (in the General tab)
- Publication, Folder, Virtual Folder, Structure Group, and Page metadata fields (in the General tab)
