  Key Concepts: 
  Preferred term is a feature of SAPTERM SAPterm terminology management, which allows users to define a single term that is used to represent multiple terms. This helps to ensure consistency in the language used across different documents and systems. It also helps to reduce the amount of time spent searching for the correct term. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use preferred terms, users must first create a list of terms that they want to use as preferred terms. This list can be created manually or imported from an existing list. Once the list is created, users can assign each term a preferred term. This will ensure that all documents and systems use the same term for the same concept. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a list of preferred terms, it is important to consider how the terms will be used in different contexts. For example, if a term is used in both technical and non-technical documents, it may be beneficial to create two separate lists of preferred terms – one for technical documents and one for non-technical documents.
