ATTACHING A LOCAL TERMBASE IN MULTERM



LOADING XDT FILES TO CREATE THE TERMBASE
Download the zipped file from the FTP site (or save the copy received via e-mail). Unzip the files (XDT and XML) of the termbase to your local drive.

In MultiTerm, go to Termbase > Create Termbase. Browse to the folder you want to save the termbase in, give it a name and click Save. MultiTerm will take you through the Termbase Wizard:

·         Step 1: Select Load an existing termbase definition file and click Browse. Navigate to the folder where you have saved the unzipped files, select the XDT file and click Open.
·         Step 2: Enter a descriptive name for the new termbase.
·         Step 3 and 4: Do not change any settings for the index fields, descriptive fields and entry structure.
·         Click Finish to close the wizard.

You will now need to import all entries form the XML file.
