Description

Use Keyword Data Set

 

A Keyword Data Set limits the values that appear in a drop-down list to the values included in the set, allows Drop-Down capabilities for Alphanumeric Single Table Keyword Types as well as Keyword Types in Keyword Type Groups, and can be used to provide a limited set of choices for Keyword Value entry – such as States, Months, and other predefined selection criteria for indexing.

Note:

When entering a numeric value for a Data Set, you may only use the negative ( - ) sign before a number.

If this check box is selected, the Data Set button becomes available at the Keyword Type dialog box.

Allow Drop-Down Lists

 

Drop-down lists display all Keyword Values currently associated with the selected Keyword Type, for all Document Types.

For Alphanumeric Single Table Keyword Types that do not use a Data Set, drop-down lists display duplicate values if multiple documents are indexed with the same value. To prevent this behavior, select Only Display Distinct Values.

Note:

If the Keyword Type is in a Keyword Type Group and you want to Allow Drop-Down Lists, Keyword Values must be configured in a Data Set.

 

Descending Lookup

Designates the order for the Keyword Values in the data set drop-down list as descending. If disabled, the list will appear in random order (based on database sorting).

 

Only Display Distinct Values

Prevents duplicate values from displaying in a drop-down list. This option is only available for Alphanumeric Single Table Keyword Types that do not use a Data Set.
