Adding a glossary model reference to a data design project

You can store a glossary model in one data design project and reference the model from that project or other data design projects as the project naming standard.

Before you begin

Before you add a glossary model reference to a data design project, you must create and save a glossary model in a data design project.

About this task

When you add a glossary model reference to a data design project, the glossary model that you specify is selected by default in the Analyze Model wizard when you perform a model analysis.

You can also specify glossary models on the Naming Standard Preferences page as the global naming standard.

Procedure

To add a glossary model reference to a data design project:

  1. Select a data design project in the Data Project Explorer, and open the Properties view. The project that you select does not need to contain a glossary model. You can reference a glossary model that is stored in another data design project.
  2. On the Naming Standard page in the Properties view, click Add. A window opens so that you can browse to the glossary model files that you have access to.
  3. Select a glossary model file and click OK.

Results

The file that you selected is displayed in the Properties view for the project.
