Optionally, you may enter a definition at this time too.
When you are finished, press 'Add'.

The new term is added to the selected vocabulary; the new term will be available for selection whenever you edit the element linked to this vocabulary in RIMMF.

Note: to facilitate adding multiple terms at once, follow these steps on the 'Add vocabulary term' page:

• Enter the new term
• Press <Tab>
• Press <Enter>
• Enter the next term, etc.

Pressing <Tab> in this context jumps to the 'Add' button; pressing <Enter> executes the 'Add' action, which, after it adds the term to the vocabulary, clears the term from the edit box and returns the cursor to it, ready for the entry of another term.

Note: that if the vocabulary is defined as an 'open' vocabulary, you can add new terms simply by typing them into the appropriate element during editing. Follow this link for more details about Open vocabularies
