HELP-PROMPT: Answer must be 2-90 characters in length
DESCRIPTION: This is an alternate expression for the Subject Matter Domain.
NOTE: These terms are for the initial mapping process only. The mapping process is a one time
exercise until all existing active titles are mapped to a standard title. This field will NOT be
used to deploy data thru MFS. This field will not be updated after the initial installation. The
alternate expression does not have to be stored in VISTA separately from the standard title. It
will be stored in the terminology server. The look up and search does not use the alternate
expression term. We will keep this data in the terminology server.
