# Manage the Data Dictionary

Selecting Data Dictionary from the Tool bar opens up the Data Dictionary manager. You can search, manage terms and create new categories in this window. This is the window that manages the fields and math variables accessible via the Data Dictionary.

Important: In the Data Dictionary the word term refers to either a field or math variable.

Search Tab Buttons/Functions
New | Allows the creation of a new entry in the Data Dictionary by taking you to Manage Term.
Edit | Edits the existing term.
Delete | Allows you to delete a term. You will be prompted with a warning message asking if you are sure you want to delete the item before you actually delete it. Select Yes to delete the item or No to cancel the deletion.
Push | The Push button will display all the BusinessRules/Transactions/SegmentNames where the field/math variable is referenced. This will prevent the user from deleting any field if it is used in other places.
Used In | Tells you where an item/term is used. Prevents you from deleting what you think is an inactive field because you see the rules and transactions that use it.
