The View Term page, for a user with minimal permissions, looks like this:
Figure 1. View Term page for user with minimal permissions
The term viewer has three main sections.
- The top section is the entry section. It displays term entry-level attributes and their change history, if any.
- The middle section is the main term section. It displays the focused term in detail, including its status, attributes and history. The term is the one you clicked on when you opened this window.
- The bottom section is the entry terms section. It lists all terms in this term entry, with the focused term's listing highlighted. You can change which term displays in the term section by clicking on one of these terms: the current focused term will be replaced by the term you select. To show and hide Proposed and Rejected terms, click Show rejected/proposed terms.
The View Term page allows you to view, add, or change term entry information. Depending on your permissions, you see various buttons in this page that allow you to perform different functions. The following figure shows what the page looks like to a user with full permissions. For details of how permissions affect this page, see the "Terminology Database Security" topic.
Note: You cannot propose changes or edit terms for MultiTerm termbases in WorldServer.
