enhancements
• Changes to glossaries and terms can be tracked with
detailed audit trail histories
• Glossary hierarchies with inheritance allow creation of
child glossaries that can inherit a subset of terms from
one or more glossaries, to create tiered structures that
correlate to organizational configurations
• Integration with the ER/Studio Data Architect data
dictionary allows modelers to see glossary terms and
definitions in real-time for consistency
• Ability to make mass updates to a subset of glossaries
and terms (instead of all at once or one at a time) using
CSV modifications

Search updates
Enhanced browse and search capabilities are now available
for glossaries, terms, data sources, and data objects
