Create a Term

To create a new term:
  1. Right-click on the entity where you want to create the new term, and select New Term. Alternatively, you can select the entity, click New, and then select New Term. The New Term window appears.
  2. Enter the name of the new term. Term names can contain up to 32 characters and must be unique within a vocabulary. Term names are case insensitive. For example, SAS Business Rules Manager considers name to be equal to NAME.
    Note: Do not use any of these operators or keywords as term names: AND, OR, IN, NOT, LIKE, TRUE, or FALSE. Do not use _N_ or any DS2 reserved word as a term name. See Reserved Words in the DS2 Language in SAS DS2 Language Reference.
  3. (Optional) Enter a description for the new term. Descriptions are limited to 256 characters.
  4. Select the data type for the new term.
  5. Select the domain type for the new term.
  6. (Optional) Specify the domain values for the new term. Domain values are the set of expected values for a term. See Specify Domain Values for more information.
  7. (Optional) Select Exclude from input if you do not want the term to be mapped to a column in an input data set. (The application expects all terms to be mapped to columns in an input data set.)
  8. (Optional) Select Exclude from output to exclude a term from the output data sets that are generated by rule flows.
    Tip
    To create a temporary term for use only while a rule flow is executing, select both Exclude from input and Exclude from output.
  9. Click OK.
