Limited Glossary Based on Report Content Only
« on: June 24, 2024, 09:21:19 pm »
Hi, I know from the forum history that this question has been asked before, but apart from a third party tool, is there a way to limit the report generated glossary to list only the terms relevant (that appear in) in the report that is generated?
Thanks in advance

I don't think this has changed recently.

Fair enough. Could you limit what is generated from the glossary based on the glossary type field? i.e. could I include all "Type: Acronyms" but ignore all glossary items with "Type: System"?

You definitely can if you use an SQL fragment, but I'm not sure if you can do that with the standard templates.

Just a thought:
You could probably use the generated Glossary items in a Word-like index table and filter out all elements which are not indexed properly (i.e. not used anywhere)?

How do you create/add an index to an EA generated document ? or do you mean add an index in Word after the document was generated?
