This option is available to the user with the administrator privileges for the thesaurus!
The main function of the Thesaurus is to provide standardized vocabulary for the text meta-data (extra-textual information), like dating, location or material. For a detailed description of the individual elements of the Thesaurus view see Thesaurus.
- Open the Thesaurus view by clicking the
"Thesaurus" icon in the Toolbar. - In the Thesaurus Navigator on the left, click either
"Add Thesaurus Root
Entry" or 
"Add
Thesaurus Child Entry". A root entry may stand on its own, while child entry is always
dependent on the root entry. - Click on the "Thesaurus" entry to edit its content. A Passport Editor
will appear in the
middle. - In the Passport Editor you can type a name (default name is either "Thesaurus Root" or "Thesaurus Child"), define type and subtype via the drop-down menus and edit visibility and review status. For a detailed description of the individual tabs and elements of the passport editor of the Thesaurus, see Passport Editor.
- To add an annotation or a comment to a Thesaurus entry, click
"Add
Annotation" and 
"Add Comment" in the toolbar of the Thesaurus Navigator. - To delete a thesaurus entry, use the
"Delete" button in the Thesaurus Navigator toolbar. It will move
the entry to the "Bin" tab, where you can manually permanently delete it. Closing or
restarting the BTS will also lead to the permanent deletion of an entry from the Bin.
