  • What is this list?

    3. click the Update Button in Levels and you will see the window will scroll down reaching this Table 3. (e.g L2 Broad Genres );

    4. this Table 3 of Entries will now be filtered by the Level of the System you choose (for Example EMC / L2 Broad Genres);

    5. now you can choose an Entry .

    6. by clicking on the row . You will be redirected to its Taxonomy Page .For example, if you had choose Broad Genres as level you will see 31 entries .By Clicking  on Rock you will be redirected to /taxonomies/music-taxonomy/genres/blues-rock).
