Taxonomy data through Import Manager

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to build my frist repository and my model is as below.

Employeeid(Integer)

EmployeeName(Text)

EmployeeDepartment(Lookup[Hierarcy]) ................. Departments is the LOOKUP table.

Look up table Departments contains 3 departments SD,FI & PP.

SD conatins 2 SubDepartments - 1) telesales 2) direct sales

FI contains 2 SubDepartments - 1) CA 2) NonCA

PP contains 2 subDepartments - 1) Managerial 2) NonManagerial.

I had arranged Department is the following Hierarcy 1) SD 2) FI 3) PP

Ok I understand that in Taxonomy mode we can assing a special property to the node other than common attributes that they have naturally. Is this understanding correct?

If it is correct. What is the process for assigning data to these attributes through import manager?

Thanks

Hi,

Which special properties you are talking about ?

I will just brief you the concepts of Hierarchy and Taxonomy

Hierarchy

Node1

- Node11

- Node12

Node2

- Node21

-- Node211

Only leaf nodes can be assigned at the time of record creation.

Taxonomy

Used when particular hierarchy nodes needs some extra fields.

Example: If your hierarchy is like

Cars

- Fiat

- Maruti

Bikes

- Hero Honda

- Bajaj

Now for Cars, i want to store its Price but for Bikes i am not interested in Price but I want the Colour info. Now if you create the Price and Colour as fields of the repository then for all the records whose category is Cars will have NULL value for Colour and reverse in case of Bikes. Hence the concept of Taxonomy is introduced so that you can assign the fields (known as attributes) to the Nodes of the hierarchy.

For Taxonomy Import, refer the below links

Hi,

1st of all, U want to create Hierarchy or Taxonomy??

Hierarchy is what u have created.

And when u assign attributes to a hierarchy it becomes Taxonomy.

So 1st decide what u want............. & create lookup field of that type.

If u hv hierarchy......... Go in Hierarchy mode

& If u have Taxonomy, go in Taxonomy mode in Data Manager.

In taxonomy mode u can create attributes & u can assign them to Hierarchy.

Any node of Hierarchy can have attributes liked to them(& not only root nodes)

Child inherites the attributes of Parent.

To see how to import attributes & link them to nodes, from import manager:
