Edit a custom entity file

Use the procedure in this topic to edit a custom entity file and then stop the Salience engine.

If you need to make changes to an existing custom entity file, those change are not visible until after you restart the Natural Language Processing engine.

Procedure

  1. On the Project Tree, select the Project Project Tree - Project icon node.

    The properties of the project are displayed, including a link to the location of the project file.

  2. Select the Project path.

    A Windows Explorer window displays the location of your project.

  3. Navigate to the following path where your entity files are stored.

    \Custom\SalienceData\<language>\salience\entities\<EntityTypeName>

  4. Open the .cdl entity file that needs modified.
  5. Make the necessary changes and then save and close the .cdl file.
  6. Navigate to and select the class in the Project Tree where your Named Entity Locator is located.

    The details for that class are displayed.
