Creating Glossary Content Using Microsoft Excel

Creating Glossary Content Using Microsoft Excel

Overview

Overview

You can use Microsoft Excel to populate the content of a new glossary that you create in the Analyst tool. Usually, you create and publish the business terms, categories, and policies after you create them in the Analyst tool. However, if you do not wish to use the Analyst tool to create the content for a glossary, you can use Microsoft Excel after you export the glossary from the Analyst tool to a .xlsx file.
You can customize the glossary after you create the glossary in the Analyst tool. The Analyst tool records the customization that you made to the glossary in the .xlsx file. The .xlsx file contains multiple worksheets. Follow the recommendations in this article to edit the worksheets.
After you edit the worksheets, you can import the .xlsx file to the Analyst tool. The Analyst tool updates the business glossary with the content from the .xlsx file. The content that you import is in the draft phase. Informatica recommends that you use the approval workflow or create a business initiative in the Analyst tool to publish the imported Glossary assets.
