In other CAT tools (Deja Vu, Transit TermStar, Trados Multiterm) I can create several terminology databases, rename, copy and save them to other locations, edit these databases with other programs. But I can not find out if it is applicable in crossTerm.

The basic question: can I have several crossTerm databases?

In each entry (both in CrossTank and CrossTerm), there are many fields, such as Project, Relation, etc.
I think Relation is where you supposed to put the client's name, and further specify it in Project. Then, you can use filters while you are using or exporting the entries. That way, if you need to, you can create (
