Table of Contents
Overview
The Keywords page allows you to manage the keywords assigned to the entity type. You access this page using the Manage keywords option for an entity type. Use the links below to learn more. Managing negative keywords for regular expression entity types is the same as managing other keywords. The same functionality and options are available for both keyword types.

Adding Additional Keywords
Once you create an entity type that uses keywords, you use the Keywords page to add additional keywords to the list as needed.
Keywords cannot contain the following characters: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > ? . /
- Select the entity type.
- Click Edit on the Keyword proximity or Defined list section.
- Click the ellipses (…).
- Click Manage keywords in the menu that displays.
- On the Keywords page, click the ellipses (…) on the top-right side of the page.
- Click Add keywords in the menu that displays.
- Type the keyword(s) you want to add to the entity type.
- Click Add to add the keyword.
Adding Keywords Using a CSV File
The first line of the CSV file must contain a column labeled “words” for the import to work. Each keyword must be on a separate line in the upload file. The upload will fail if the file contains multiple keywords per line separated by commas. When you choose a CSV keyword file, DryvIQ uploads it to the server and replaces the existing keywords (if any) with those in the file.
- Select the entity type.

Deleting a Single Keyword
You can delete keywords from a keywords list as needed. This is useful if a keyword was added in error, if a keyword was added incorrectly, or if the keyword no longer needs to be in the list. You have the option of removing keywords one at a time, removing multiple keywords at a time, or removing all keywords.

Deleting All Keywords
