Glossary Import Properties

Configure the glossary import properties when you import a glossary. The import wizard provides options that you can configure in each step.

The following table describes the properties in the import wizard:

Wizard Page	Property	Description
Specify Settings	Include Attachments to Assets	Include the attachments with the import file. This option is enabled by default.
Specify Settings	Include Linked Assets from other Glossaries	Choose this option if you want details about assets linked from other glossaries to be included in the current import file. This option is enabled by default.
Specify Settings	Include Audit History	Import the audit history of the assets. If you are importing glossaries from version 9.5.1, the business glossary data is an XML file.
Specify Settings	Include rich text content for conflicting assets	Import formatted rich text. Choose this option for properties that have rich text or are of long string data type. Specify if the Analyst tool must import data from the import file when there are conflicting assets.
Select Assets	Assets to Import	Select the assets in the available categories, that you want to import.
View Summary	Replace the glossary assets with the imported assets	Select this option if you want to discard the conflicting assets that are already in the glossary and replace them with assets from the import file.
View Summary	Create a copy of the conflicting assets	Select this option if you want to preserve the conflicting assets that area already in the glossary by creating a copy. The analyst tool does not delete the existing assets.
View Summary	Do not import the conflicting assets.	The Analyst tool skips the import of conflicting assets.

If you want to import business glossary assets as plain text into the Analyst tool, you must add the
