Edit/Delete Renderings (2.2c)

When several words have been identified as being renderings of a term all have the same central root, we can use a wildcard, the asterisk, to identify the root as the rendering. This will then match other inflected forms that are used in the future.

To edit or delete a rendering​

  1. Double-click the rendering in the table.
    • The Edit Renderings dialog box opens.
  2. Edit the top rendering and change the prefix and suffix to an asterisk.
  3. Unwanted or superfluous renderings can simply be deleted.

Add a gloss to a rendering
You can type a gloss in parentheses after then rendering to clarify the usage.

The Guide
The Guide contains useful information about using the asterisk, adding a gloss and expressing a phrase.

History
When you make a change to the renderings, there is a warning indicator next to the [History] button.

  1. Click the [History] button.
    • The Renderings History dialog box opens.
  2. You can explain the changes you just made in the “Why Changed?” column.

Questions or descriptive notes​
