Adding system statuses to termbase entries
Certain terms—such as deprecated ones or those trademarked by other companies—should be avoided in translated text, whereas others might be recommended or even preferred. Use the Status (System) term-level field to mark such terms, so that users can identify them easily.

When you create or modify a termbase or a termbase template, this field is not displayed; however, you can view this field in the termbase structure and add it to any term.

At the moment, the following values are available for the Status (System) term-level field: Forbidden, Superseded, Draft, In Review, Admitted, Rejected, Deprecated, Preferred, and Recommended. After adding them, you can identify them in termbases by their corresponding icons and colors:
