This article is most useful for: superusers

Borealis offers advanced configuration options for managing data dictionaries. By adding a description to the values in your data dictionaries, Borealis users can see the details on what the available options for a given field mean.

To add a description to a value in a data dictionary:

• Access the desired data dictionary:
   
  • Route 1: Directly through the “Configuration” menu for the following dictionaries:
    
    
    • “Relationship type”
    • “Topic category”
    • “Individual Titles”
      
      
  • Route 2: “Configuration --> Data dictionary” then access the desired dictionary
    
    
• Edit or add a value.
• Fill out the “Description” field according to the active languages in Borealis.

The added description will now appear as a pop up in the user’s language when the mouse hovers over a drop-down menu.
