Validating an entry change proposal
About this task
Note: For the Propose Entry Change and Edit Entry buttons to appear, you must have created term entry attributes by selecting
Attributes in the Custom Component list on the Management > Administration > Customization page and selected TD Entry for the Applicable Object Type. In the example below, the user has created attributes for Definition and Department.
Procedure
- Open the term-based workflow project containing tasks for the terms you need to validate, then open the term entry by clicking on a link to the term entry or any of its terms. Alternatively, you can access the term in ad hoc mode via Tools > Term Databases > Term Database: <TD> page, by clicking on the TD and then the term entry.
Since this term entry has proposed changes, there is a Proposed Changes field in the entry section of the screen, initially collapsed.
- Expand the Proposed Changes field to display the proposed attribute changes. Expand the change proposal that you want to validate.

- Take the appropriate action to resolve this proposal, using the action buttons for the proposal.
- Edit: – Opens the entry change proposal editor, so you can make amendments to the proposal. Add an explanation of your changes to the proposal comment. Editing a proposal does not fully resolve this proposal's fate: you still need to decide if you want to approve or reject this proposal.
- Accept: – Makes the proposal take effect on the term entry. The attributes of the active term entry change to reflect the proposal and the proposal disappears from the list.
- Reject: – Deletes the proposal.
