13. Glossaries

Define shared business terminology and link it directly to catalog assets.

13.1 What are Glossaries?

A business glossary is a collection of standardized term definitions used across your organization. Without one, the same concept can mean different things to different teams — "active customer" might be defined differently by Marketing, Sales, and Finance, leading to conflicting reports.

13.2 How Glossaries Work in Metaustral

Each glossary has a name, an optional description, and a list of terms — each term has a name and a definition. Glossaries are created and managed from the Admin panel. Any catalog asset can be linked to a glossary, so its terms appear directly on the asset's detail page.
