This top picture illustrates a view of the demonstration Food (subject format) thesaurus. The screen immediately below that illustrates the display for a fixed level records management function format classification.

When a term is dropped, the validity of the requested link is checked, and if found to be valid, is placed alphabetically within the chosen term group. Simultaneously any required reciprocal linkages are established. Though the term header labels are shown here with their default headings these may be customised to suit specific needs.
