Creating a New Term List

To create a new term list:

1. From the Library menu, select Define Term Lists.
2. Click Create List, and then enter the name for the new list. You cannot create a term list with the same name as an existing term list.
3. Click OK.
4. Check the "Journal List" box only if you want to create a term list for storing journal names and abbreviations. These different forms of the journal name can be used interchangeably when creating bibliographies. See Creating Bibliographies with Journal Abbreviations.
   
   The predefined Journals term list is already set up as a multi-column list. If you delete this list, you can create another one as described here, but there can only be one Journals term list in a library. Do not create a 4-column journal list for nonjournal fields.

To add terms to the list, you can import an existing list of terms, update the list from existing EndNote field data, or manually enter terms into the list.

Note: New term lists must be linked to fields for the "Suggest terms as you type" and automatic updating features to work. See Linking Term Lists to Fields.
