    Actions
    New Resource

    The
    Resource Selection
     window appears.
  2. Click

    Business Glossary
    .
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Properties
     page appears.
  4. Enter the following information:
    Property
    Description
    Name
    Name for the resource. The resource appears in the
    Resources
     panel with this name. The name must be unique and have from one through 256 characters. It cannot include the following characters:
    / \ : * ' ? " < > | [ ]
    Description
    Description for the resource. Description cannot exceed 4000 characters.
    Hide in Summary Lineage

    Enable this option to hide the resource and its child objects in the summary view. Disable this option to display the resource and its child objects in the summary view.

    The business glossary resource name should match the Analyst tool glossary name. If the names do not match, the related terms for a business term do not appear in the Metadata Manager business glossary.

    • Upload enumerated links files when the files do not change. Metadata Manager uploads the files into the Metadata Manager repository.
  10. Update the file properties for each enumerated links file, if required.
  11. Click
    Next
    .
