Synonyms are managed from the List section under the Terms tab in Experience Manager. A Term is the base word to which synonyms are added.
Go to Lists > TERMS.
Click Add (+) to add a Term and corresponding synonyms.
Note: Press Enter after each synonym is filled.
Usage
Use a Term anywhere a slot value is defined. For example, consider adding choices in a survey question as shown in the following image. A color-coded data dictionary icon appears next to the text fields.
Blue icon. When you enter a word in a text field, a blue data dictionary icon indicates that the word is an existing term that has synonyms.
Click the icon to show the synonyms listed for that term. To add a new synonym to the Term, enter the synonym in the text field and click Add (+). The synonym is added to the global data.
Orange icon. When you enter a word in a text field, an orange data dictionary icon indicates that the word is an existing synonym.
Click the icon to display the message, There is an existing term Important that has "Vital" as a synonym. Would you like to use this term instead?
Click Yes to replace the synonym with Term word. The icon turns blue and all the synonyms of that term will be listed.
Black icon. When you enter a word in a text field, a black dictionary icon indicates that the word is not present as a Term in the Lists section.
Click the icon to display a drop-down list if you want to add synonyms.
