2. Keyword Management
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Keywords are an essential element to the IP Director system, bridging the gap
between the XT servers and a conventional database by allowing the user to
search for material using keywords which relate to the media rather than
searching by storage locations.
Keywords allow you to perform searches in logs or clips in a unified manner. Every
user can thus be certain that the media and logs are indexed in a structured
manner so as to provide accurate search results.
This application provides tools to add data to the database. It allows the addition
of individual words, importation of existing Keyword Grids of up to 300 keywords,
or the importation of 3
r d party text data into the IP Director database. Using
Keyword Management tools it is possible to create and edit Keyword Grids,
Keyword Dictionaries and also to import and export keyword files between
different IP Director installations. Keyword files made on an XT Server are also
importable.
Dictionaries allow you to manage all your Keywords in a structured hierarchy. This
hierarchy allows for similar items to be grouped under headings that are
collapsible and expandable.
