Set Type example – Entry or Sense Tree

In this example, the lexical relation is as follows:

• Name is "Test" and its Abbreviation is "tst"

• Reverse Name is "Result" and its Reverse Abbreviation is "rslt"

Three variations of this reference set type are included below. Notice how the dictionary entry changes depending upon if the relation was established at the entry level, or the sense level, and if an entry or sense was selected in the dialog box.

 Note

• In Variation 1, the lexical relation was added to the Cross References field (entry level).

• In Step 2 of the Identify Test entry dialog box (note that "Test" in dialog box name came from the name of the lexical reference type—see above), Choose the selected lexical entry was selected.

 Note

• In the Variation 2, the lexical relation was added to the Lexical References field (sense level).

• In Step 2 of the Identify Test entry dialog box, Choose a sense of the entry was selected.

 Note

• In the Variation 3, the lexical relation was added to the Lexical References field (sense level).

• In Step 2 of the Identify Test entry dialog box Choose the selected lexical entry was selected.

 Important

• Each Entry or Sense Tree uses two names: Name and Reverse Name

• To ensure the proper relational direction for reference set types with two names begin in the root entry (here a "Result") and add to it the leaves (here "Test").

  In particular, in an entry when you right-click the Cross References label (or in the sense you right-click the Lexical Relations label) to add the relation, the text in the menu command reflects the available lexical relations. For each of the samples above, the right-click menu reads, "Insert Test Relation (to this Result)."

  You can swap the Name and Abbreviation with the Reverse Name and Reverse Abbreviation in Lists area to reverse the root/leaves relationship.
