Search and Filter Taxonomies
The taxonomies are displayed in a hierarchical structure on the left hand side of the page, allowing for specific terms to be selected and managed. The dropdown list shows all available taxonomies.
NOTE: For the SharePoint Terms, they will be grouped by the SharePoint Term Group.
Right-clicking the tree view nodes provides a number of management options at both the term and termset level including:
- Add Child Term
- Rename Term
- Delete Term
- Re-Classify Term
- Re-Classify Tagged
- Pin Term With Children
- Reuse Terms
- Export CSV
You can also drag-and-drop a node from one location on the tree view to another, once you have dropped the node you can select to either move, copy, or merge the node(s).
Browser rendering restrictions limits the maximum suitable size per level within the tree view at 10,000 terms. Therefore we recommend that the tree view is structured across multiple branches, both for performance and usability. Once a branch within the taxonomy reaches 10,000 terms the tree view will cap the returned nodes and log a warning to the event logs.
