Add Assets to Glossary Terms

After creating a glossary term, you can associate data assets with the term. In the Glossary Term > Assets Tab, Collate displays all assets associated with the glossary term, grouped by type — Tables, Topics, Dashboards, and more. To add asset to glossary terms:

1. In the glossary term page, click Add > Assets.
2. Search and filter assets by type or select the relevant assets and click Save.

The glossary term lists the Assets, which makes it easy to discover all the data assets related to the term. By default, a table can be associated with more than one glossary term. Admins can restrict this to a single term per table in Data Asset Rules using the Tables can only have a single Glossary Term rule.

Glossary Terms and Tags

If Tags are associated with a Glossary Term, then applying that glossary term to a data asset, will also automatically apply the associated tags to that data asset. For example, the glossary term ‘Account’ has a PII.Sensitive tag associated with it. When you add a glossary term to a data asset, the associated tags also get added.
