It’s good to add See References for commonly used terms that point to SCIS valid terms that are unlikely to be used by students.

Here is an example:-

Adding “Sinking and Floating → Hydrodynamics”

1. Go into Data Entry.
2. Click on Thesaurus tab.
3. Use the Find box and type in the first few letters of Hydrodynamics (eg. hyd).
4. When Hydrodynamics is found, double click on it to get to Thes Detail tab.
5. Click on Record on the bar menu and select ‘Add Thes. See Reference’.
6. A box will pop up prompting what the non-valid heading that will be pointing to the valid heading will be called E.g. ‘Sinking & Floating’.
7. Click ‘OK’ when you are happy with the See Reference and then select ‘OK’ on the successful message.
8. To check your See Reference simply click the link that says ‘Has See References’ across the top of the Thesaurus record and  box will pop up a list of the See Reference for that heading.
9. You may also choose to add ‘Floating & Sinking’ → Hydrodynamics.
