Build Glossary

Define new glossary

Each business term is stored in a glossary. A glossary is a container of terms - you can create one or more glossaries in your repository. To add a glossary, click the Add option in the ribbon or right-click the repository explorer and choose Business Glossary. A new glossary with a default name will be created. Provide a meaningful name and confirm with the enter key.

Create new term in the glossary

To create a new term in the glossary, right-click the glossary item, Terms folder, or existing term, choose the New option, and then the type of term you want to create (the default type is "Term"). A new blank term will be created.

Provide the form title, definition, and attributes using the term form visible in the right pane and save with the Save term button from the ribbon or ctrl + S from the keyboard.

Define term hierarchy

Terms in a glossary can be organized into a hierarchy. To create a hierarchy, simply drag & drop the term into the term you want it to be under and confirm.

Create new term from the data dictionary

You can create new terms directly from assets in the data dictionary when browsing tables and columns - more on this here.
