Tutorial - Creating a business glossary

Welcome to this tutorial, which will introduce you to creating a business glossary. From assignment of the required Steward role and permissions in the space, to defining the business glossary and adding categories and terms, then linking a glossary term called Annual Contract Value to an app (ContractValues) that includes a bar chart with the measure Annual Contract Value— the example stages through key configurations and features of the business glossary.

Example: Sales and contracts business glossary, Hierarchy view

You can follow along and build the business glossary from scratch or download a zip file containing the finished business glossary Sales and contracts.json and the app ContractValues. In this tutorial, we link to from the term entry Annual Contract Value to the app ContractValues that contains a measure analyzing Annual Contract Value.
