Add values to a taxonomy

Note

To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.

A taxonomy contains values that you use to organize content into categories. Taxonomies have their own schema so you can extend them with additional properties, such as synonyms. Synonyms are multi-language string properties used in full-text search. In the following example, a search of the Brand taxonomy for delicious brings up the taxonomy Flavorful because a synonym is defined in the taxonomy value properties.

Synonym example

Synonyms are also useful when you want to account for regional spelling variants (for example, Flavourful).

Important
