User Manual: Creating Authority Hierarchies

Within each authority, users may create hierarchies To create a broader or narrower relationship between authority terms, first create or edit a term At the bottom of the data entry screen is the Hierarchy information section

To add a broader or narrower context to the Primary term, enter the display name of the broader or narrower term into the Broader or Narrower context field These fields use a predictive-text interface; if the broader or narrower terms already exist, they will appear in the list If they do not already exist, a new term may be created using this interface

If a term already has a broader term / parent, CollectionSpace will provide a warning if that term is added as a narrower term to a different record.
If adding a broader or narrower relationship would result in a circular hierarchy, CollectionSpace will display an error message, and the record will not be saved.
