When you import an .xlsx file, the Analyst tool compares the data in the file with the data in existing glossaries. You can resolve conflicts that Analyst tool detects between the data in the .xlsx file and the data in existing glossaries.
The Analyst tool can detect and inform you of the following types of errors during import:
Match by asset ID.
The Analyst tool compares the asset IDs of the Glossary assets in the .xlsx file with the asset IDs present in existing glossaries. Every asset must have a unique asset ID. If the asset ID in the .xlsx file matches another asset ID in a glossary, the Analyst tool gives you options to skip the import of conflicting asset, replace the existing asset, or create a copy of the existing asset.
Match by name.
The Analyst tool compares the names of the Glossary assets in the .xlsx file with the names of assets present in existing glossaries. If the asset name in the .xlsx file matches more than one name in the glossary, the Analyst tool ignores the conflict and imports the data. If the asset name in the .xlsx file matches with the name of another similar asset in the glossary, the Analyst tool gives you an option to replace the existing asset, or create a copy of the existing asset. Glossaries can have multiple assets with the same name.

Pending Publish
