Metadata in XTM Cloud terminology includes all fields, mandatory and customized ones, such as:

Definition, Context, Images, Part of speech, Gender, Concept, Abbreviations, etc.

...

After project creation, this metadata, is displayed in rudimentary form. Once the user enters XTM Workbench in “Edit" mode, metadata is updated.

XTM Cloud has a lot of customization features when it comes to custom fields. In Configuration → Settings → Data → Custom fields Terminology custom fields, you can add your own customized terminology field, specify its field type and add values:

How to include different custom fields in the terminology import

Remember that, to import a TBX or XLS(X) file which contains a specific custom field, you must first create a field with the same name in the XTM Cloud UI (Configuration → Settings → Data → Custom fields Terminology custom fields).

If you do not create it, the TBX file will import without that custom field and it will not be displayed in the Terminology tab.

For instance, if Suggested notes and Translate custom fields are present in the Concept metadata, the file must have exactly the same field name, otherwise this particular metadata will fail to import.

...

To see this kind of view in Terminology and so in XTM Workbench, e.g. Part of speech, Gender, or a term type, you can use filter options to specify which ones are to be displayed. You can do this directly in the Terminology module (Terminology → Manage) when you click on a cogwheel:

...

  • term → stores the translation of the term.

  • termNote → stores all term-related metadata. It always has a type attribute and an attribute value compatible with the fields present in:

    • Configuration Data Custom fields → Terminology custom fields.

  • transacGrp → stores the term's creation and modification date information, and its author.
