This field is completed automatically according to the name of the taxonomy to which the term belongs.

Enter the name of the term as you would like to see it appear in value lists in edit page and as labels in view page.
Use for
You can create one or more non-preferred terms using this field. When users attempt to add the non-preferred term to a record the preferred term will be added instead. Similarly, if users search on the non-preferred term, ICA-AtoM will automatically substitute the preferred term.

In the current version of ICA-AtoM, this field applies only to the events taxonomy. For example, for the term "distribution" the display note is "distributor".
