Create Custom Classification Scheme for Use as KeywordsCreate Custom Classification Scheme for Use as Keywords

You need a set of custom keywords for use with a specific content type. These keywords must be created in a Classification scheme and then related to the content type afterwards. The scheme will be populated manually.

 

Example

This article will exemplify how to create a set of keywords with custom ratings:
Rating1
Rating2
Rating3

Create new classification scheme

Only an Administrator of Pure of can create classification schemes.

  1. Go to Master Data > Classification schemes
  2. Click + and a new window will open.
  3. Fill in section Scheme 

    1. URI: As this will be used for keywords, the URI is filled like this: /dk/atira/pure/keywords/custom_rating
      Note: The above is an example. The URI always starts with this /dk/atira/pure/keywords/ followed by a given name relevant for what it contains.
    2. Type: Set to Misc, but it has no practical consequences, this is just for categorisation of the classification schemes.
    3. Description: This is the name the scheme is found/listed/searchable by.
  4. Next, fill in the actual values in section 'Classifications':
    1. Click "Add Classification"
    2. Fill in the value(s)
    3. URI is filled in automatically
    4. Description is not needed but it can be an explanation of the value added in Term. It is not visible anywhere.
    5. Click Create
    6. Repeat step 4.a-e until all values are added
  5. Alternative, faster method:
    1. Click Table and Add row
    2. Add as many rows as needed. Description is still not needed and URI will be filled in automatically.
  6. When done you can see the result in List mode again, here with all the details filled in:
  7. Click save

Please refer to Add keyword group to content for details on how to relate and use the newly created keywords on a given content type.

The approach described above is recommended only if there's a limited amount of terms to be added. An alternative would be to upload the terms using an Excel sheet. See How to import a controlled vocabulary for more information on this.
