The LEXICON Module allows the system administrator complete control of the administration of the Dictionary (DICT) database of a project.

Before a project can use any of the resources covered in this guide a DICTIONARY (DICT) database must be created as part of a Multiple Database (MDB), which is done with the use of the ADMIN module in the same way as for any other type of database. Refer to Creating the Main Admin Elements for further information.

Elements within the LEXICON module can be changed or deleted during the course of a project. The dictionary contains all the definitions for a project and if data is to be transferred between projects the dictionary must be transferred as well. The data output and project re-configuration functions can be used to do this. A user may create elements within other databases such as MODEL from definitions within the LEXICON database, however if the LEXICON database is removed then these elements will become unrecognised in the MODEL database.
