The Thesaurus screen

When you select this option the thesaurus screen is displayed. Please note that the example record will open a new window, when you have finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in the top right corner to close the window.

As shown, there are many main subjects entered in the thesaurus and each of these subjects may have related terms attached.  See Adding Subject Terms for details.  The display will default to showing all terms in an overview, and the first highlighted term is shown both in full at the bottom of the screen, and also in the tree structure to show how it appears in relation to other terms. The box in the bottom left corner shows any Related Terms that have been defined.

Select View, Overview from drop down options to alternatively show and hide the overview. Clicking on the Term label in the overview bar will sort all records into ascending alphabetical order by Term. See the Overview facility in the Searching section for further details on viewing an overview.
