Associating terms with entities

The value of terms comes with using them to identify data and data sets. You can associate terms with entities from search results and within an entity detail page.

When you associate a term with an entity, that entity is part of the group of entities returned when you search on the term.

You can associate a term with an entity in the dashboard:

  • From an entity detail page:
    1. Figure 1. Associate term from entity details in New User Interface
    2. Figure 2. Select a glossary term in the Associate term dialog
    1. Figure 3. Associate term from entity details in Classic User Interface
    2. Figure 4. Select a glossary term in the Associate term dialog
  • From search results:
    Figure 5. Associate term from entity search results in New User Interface
    Figure 6. Associate term from entity search results in Classic User Interface

Both methods open a dialog box where you can search for the term or browse through the glossary hierarchy.
