Validating a term change proposal

A term proposal consists of a proposal comment, a change to the term (if any), and changes to one or more term attributes.
  1. Open the term-based workflow project containing tasks for the terms you need to validate, then open the term by clicking on a link to the term. 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.
    The term viewer opens for that term. Since the term has proposed changes, there is a Proposed Changes field in the term section of the screen, initially collapsed.
    Note: Term-based workflow validation is not an option for MultiTerm terms yet.
  2. Expand the Proposed Changes field to display the proposed term changes. Expand the change proposal that you want to validate.

  3. 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.
