Additional attributes in glossary entries
« on: January 19, 2013, 03:41:23 am »
Hi

A glossary entry has the following standard attributes in Enterprise Architect:
- term
- meaning
- type (e.g. business or technical)

Is there any possibility to add additional attributes, e.g.
- date of entry
- status/quality of the definition
- source of the information

The only way I see at the moment to add such information is to  enter it in the "meaning" attribute, perhaps using some sort of a template in Rich Text format.
Unfortunately, this is not a very structured way suited to searching and filtering.

Cheers
Thomas

No way. The base table t_glossary is limited to what you see. You could add additional columns and implement an own glossary GUI but that like playing with fire.
