Create a taxonomy

Define a classification tree for your records.

Where: Database → Taxonomies → New · /projects/<project>/db/taxonomies/new

Screenshot TODO — capture comes from testing-plan area 04-taxonomies.

Fields

• Taxonomy name (required) — e.g. Cities.

• Description — free text.

• Parent — one other taxonomy (default — None —). Setting it places this taxonomy in a tree: every term you later create must then pick a required parent term from that taxonomy.

• Additional categories — checkboxes with the project's other taxonomies. Terms can then carry extra parents from those taxonomies. A taxonomy set as Parent cannot also be ticked here — the form rejects it with A taxonomy cannot be both the Parent and an Additional category. Remove it from one.

Save stores the taxonomy (txn_…) and returns to the list; Cancel discards. After saving you add the actual terms records get tagged with.

Example: create Countries with no parent, then Cities with Parent = Countries. Every city term must now name its country, and the API can fetch a country's cities as term children.
