Adding business glossaries to a data product

Adding business glossaries to data products makes the glossary terms available more widely when the data product is activated. Business glossaries provide standardized definitions that help data product consumers understand business terminology and verify data relevance to their use cases. For more information about business glossaries, see Working with business glossaries.

Required permissions

To add or edit business glossaries in a data product, you need both of the following:

• The Data Product Manager role or the Manage data products permission.
• The permission to edit the space where the data product is located.

You can only select glossaries that you have read access to. When data product consumers view attached glossaries, they see only those glossaries they have read access to. Glossaries that the consumer cannot access are not displayed.

Adding glossaries to a data product

To add business glossaries:

1. Open a data product.
2. Click > Glossaries.
3. Click Add glossaries.
4. Select the glossaries you want to add to the data product.
5. Click Confirm. You are back to the Edit data product window.
6. Click Save.

Viewing attached glossaries

When business glossaries are added to a data product, they appear in the Documentation tab. From this tab, data product managers can edit the glossary selection or unlink individual glossaries. Data consumers see glossaries they have access to; inaccessible glossaries are not displayed. For more information, see Documenting a data product.
