Add, Review and Edit Objects with or without Workflow

When you enable workflow Talend Data Catalog creates another version of the glossary named Published. The Published version is the one that is to be presented to most of the users. Its contents are not directly editable (with or without permission). Instead, one edits the Development version and then uses the Publish workflow step to change what is in the Published glossary.

The particular version (Published or Development) that user sees is entire system managed. Thus, you will have access to the

  • Published version of the glossary if you do not have any Workflowcapability object role assignments, and you will not have any ability to edit the glossary or see current edits and workflow states. You will only see what was published.
  • Development version of the glossary if you do not have any Workflowcapability object role assignments, and you will have the ability to see glossary object in their current workflow status

Information note

Terms and other object types associated with custom models can have any number of attribute (types) associated with them. However, these function differently from custom attributes on imported models. Unlike custom attributes, attributes on custom model objects are always considered available to edit. Thus, you do not have to “attach” them to each instantiated object.

For terms, what this means is that the ALL of the attributes available will show in the object page for every term, not just the ones you attached a custom attribute to.
