How to add the first term to a hierarchical vocabulary using the Taxonomy Manager module. IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you name this first term the same as the Vocabulary name. This allows you to create a hierarchical tree of terms. Failure to set up terms in this way will restrict you to only one top level parent term.

1. Click the Edit link beside the vocabulary for the new terms. This opens the Edit Vocabulary page.
2. Click the Add New button. This displays the Create New Term section.
3. In the Create New Term section, complete these fields:
   1. In the Name text box, enter the vocabulary name.
   2. In the Description text box, enter a description for this term. Tip: Copying the Vocabulary description is suitable.
4. Click the Save button.
   
5. The newly added term is now displayed in the Terms section. You can now add additional terms. See Adding Additional Terms (Hierarchical Vocabulary).
