Creating a Glossary
Go Up to Working with Glossaries
To create a glossary:
- Select Glossaries.
- Click the New Glossary button on the upper-right corner.
- In the New Glossary dialog box that opens:
- Enter a Name to identify your new glossary.
- Optionally, if you want your new glossary to be a child of an existing glossary:
- Write in Parent Glossary the name of an existing glossary.
- Tip: As you write the name of the parent glossary, a context menu appears listing existing glossaries. You can click an item in the context menu instead of manually writing the whole name of the parent glossary.
- Click Add to set the parent.
- Write in Parent Glossary the name of an existing glossary.
- Define the Status of the glossary using nomenclature you decide upon. You can use for example the following nomenclature: "Approved", "Not Yet Approved", "Implemented", "Not Yet Implemented", and "Deprecated".
- Write a Definition that provides detailed information about the glossary, such as its purpose and audience.
- Click Save to save your new glossary.
