Effective in version 10.0, data stewards can publish Glossary assets after a voting process. The glossary administrator configures the approval workflow for a glossary after which the data steward must publish or reject all the assets in the glossary through a voting process. The glossary administrator can configure up to two levels of approvals. The approvers can approve or reject the asset changes or abstain from voting. The data steward publishes or rejects the asset based on the voting results.

Glossary assets that are published after an approval workflow have a new tab called

Voting History

in the audit trail. This tab displays the details about the approval workflow.

For more information, see the "Approval Workflow" chapter in the

Informatica 10.0 Business Glossary Guide
