Business Data Network: Is there a way to change a term's type

[jblack38]

As I started using BDN more I decided I need to break a term type into multiple term types.  I had a term type of Data: Data Source.  But now I would like to use SAS Table and Banner Table term types.  I created the new term types.  But I don't see any way to change the term type for a term.

Thanks for your help!

Have you seen the administration documentation on managing terms? https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=dmbdncdc&cdcVersion=3.3&docsetId=dmbdnug&docsetTarget=n0wsm00ol...

Hi JosvanderVelden,
Thanks for your reply. But I’ve found nothing in the documentation that describes how to change a term’s type after you create the term. I haven’t found an option to do this in any of the menus.
Thanks!

Hi Jerry

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change a term's type through the UI. One option, would be to export the term, update the XML and reimport it. Mind that you will have 2 terms but not with the same type.

Thank you Vincent!

That is what I suspected was the case.  Thanks for replying.
