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