Adding and removing Asset Members



This article assumes you have already created your new Asset. Click here for more info on Asset Creation.

Summary

Assets can be populated in two different ways:

  • Extensional Assets: By manually adding and removing members.

  • Intensional Assets: By linking the Asset with an existent query based on ECL.

Assets are edited through the Asset Library module in termSpace.

Working with Extensional Assets

To edit Asset members, you should first select the desired Asset from the list, and click on the “Open Asset” button.

Adding members

Drag&Drop

Extensional Assets can be populated by dragging concepts retreived by the Search Module as well as the Taxonomy, and dropping them in the Refset Editor module on the left.

 

Tip: You can drop a concept into the Taxonomy to browse into it’s hierarchy:

Bulk adding

From Excel

Members can be addded by uploading a compatible Excel file.

From briefcase

You can also add members by importing previously added concept from the Briefcase.
The Compare with briefcase button displays a list of the concepts from the briefcase that are not yet members of the Asset.

Removing members

You can remove a member by clicking on the cross icon next to each concept.

Working with Intensional assets.

Intensional asset members are defined by a previously saved query. Click here for more info on Creating Queries.

For linking the Asset to a previously saved query, you will need to select it from the “Linked with query” dropdown, and click on the “Sync” button after that.

 

Refset Synchronization

Warning: At this point members were added to the asset, but you will need to synchronize them with the correspondant Refset for the changes to be published in the next Terminology Release. Click here for more info on Refset Synchronization.
