Updating Terms Without Dependencies

A term can be edited through the Data Dictionary in the Manage Term tab. The term name can be updated as long as the term does not have dependencies. A term has dependencies when it is added to the field or math section of a transaction. All information relating to the term can be edited if the term is free of dependencies.   

 

Steps to Update a Field or Math Variable Term

1. Search for the term.

2. Highlight the term in Return Results.

3. Select the Edit button, which toggles to the Manage Term tab.

4. Make necessary changes. You will not be able to change a term name if the term has dependencies. 

5. Select the Update button.

 

Updating Terms with Dependancies

Term names can only be changed if the term is free of dependencies. A dependency exists if the term is used in the field or math section of a transaction. If dependencies exist, then the transaction should be updated so that the term is removed from the field or math section. Then the term and be updated and added back to the transaction if needed.   

 

If a term name is greyed out and cannot be edited, but you aren't sure what dependencies exist for the term, then you can use the Used In button in the Search tab to find the dependencies. Search for the term, select the result from the search and click Used In. A window will open showing all dependencies for that term.
