# Term relationships

To establish the hierarchical structure within your Thesaurus, you need to relate terms to each other as in this example:

Animal - top term
| Dogs - narrower term of Animals
| By Breed - node label, a term which describes the basis by which the term has been further divided
| Corgi - narrower term of Dogs
| Dingo - narrower term of Dogs
| German Shepherd - narrower term of Dogs
| Poodle - narrower term of Dogs

The Thesaurus function enables you to relate Thesaurus terms in several ways:

- Broader term - see Creating broader terms
- Narrower term - see Creating narrower terms
- Related term - see Creating related terms
- Use term - see Creating Use terms
- Use For term - see Creating Use For terms.

TIP: You can also relate Thesaurus terms by using the right-click and drag functionality.

When you drop the term on another term, a menu with all the relate options appears.
