# TermGetBest

Allows you to list the conceptually most important terms that one or more specific documents or document sections contain. You specify the documents by setting ID, Reference, StateID, or a combination.

NOTE: If you use a Distributed Action Handler (DAH) to distribute the `TermGetBest` action, you cannot use any parameters that specify the IDs of documents. Use parameters that identify documents by their reference instead.

The Content componentlists the conceptually most important terms from SourceType fields. If there are no SourceType fields configured, the `TermGetBest` action lists terms from Index fields.

## Example
