Adding Synonyms to Taxonomy Categories


Prerequisites: See Taxonomy Prerequisites for details.

You can associate synonyms with Taxonomy Tree categories. Synonyms display other names for a category. The feature benefits customers who search website content for similar words that don't match the category nomenclature.
Note
Publishing produces the taxonomytree.xml file, which you can then access through RTAPI for the ICMSCategory Interface. If you have CMS 10.5, see CMS 10.5 RTAPI Documentation for the 10.5 ICMSCategory Interface. If you have CMS 10.0-10.3, see CMS 10.0-10.3 RTAPI Documentation for the CMS 10.0-10.3 ICMSCategory Interface.

  1. Navigate to Administration > Taxonomy.
