Loading a Data Glossary
- Elias Helgren Dahl
The Data Glossary in Engrafo is a great way to organize terms and definitions in you organization. It offers features to easily look up terms and definitions wherever you might find them throughout the solution.
As you can see our Data Glossary doesn't contain anything yet. For the sake of this demo we have created a .csv file that contains a small list of descriptions:
To upload the glossary, we follow a similar procedure as loading any other .csv file. Just head to Load Metadata → Load Data Glossary, Choose the file containing the glossary, select the separatpr “;” and click upload.
Keep in mind, if uploading your own data, your csv file must look as the following:
Load a csv file that has the following required columns:
Path | Description |
|---|
The path dictates how the glossary will structured, automatically creating folders for your glossary items. Below is an example of what the structure might look like.
Path;Description
folder1/folder2/item1;This is a description for item 1
folder1/item2;This is a description for item 2
item3;This is a description for item 3
item4;This is a description for item 4 And the description is simply the explanation of the respective item.
