Abstract

Editing Details

In this section you find a short guide on how to edit concept or concept scheme details.

All information for a selected concept scheme or concept can be edited in the Details View .

You can add, edit and delete properties, using the available icons and the respective input dialogues.

PoolParty offers the following editing functions via interface icons:

Additionally, a very nifty feature in PoolParty to help you editing concepts and your thesaurus is the Collections function based on the SKOS specification. Use the Add to Collection link (5) to add the current concept to a collection.

Note

  • Preferred labels cannot be deleted since exactly one preferred label has to exist per concept.

  • Deleting relations will not delete the concepts themselves. Thus deleting relations disconnects concepts that were previously related to each other via narrower, broader, related, exact or close match.

  • To prevent concepts from loosing their relation to the hierarchy tree and become 'loose concepts' you cannot delete the last broader relationship of a concept.

Note

Concurrent editing is handled in a 'last in wins' way. If two users edit the same concept scheme or concept at the same time the changes that were stored last are used.

As a PoolPartySuperAdmin you can prevent concurrent editing in the Systems Settings submenu of the ADVANCED menu. It allows to specify a time interval, preventing users to repeat the same action (for example editing a label).
