Creating Catalogs

Catalogs are the containers for all the asset types that are created in the Glossary Workspace. You can group business assets based on your organization's projects, departments, or functions. Therefore, before creating business assets, you need to create a catalog. You can also create sub-catalogs to group business assets further.

To create catalogs, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Application Menu > Data Literacy > Business Glossary Manager > Explore.
  2. On the Asset Browser, select a business asset.
    By default, Business Terms appear, and Asset Workspace pane displays catalogs.
    This example walks you through creating a catalog under Business Terms.
  3. In the Asset Workspace pane, right-click the Catalog View node.
  4. Click New Catalog.
    The New Catalog page appears.
  5. Enter Catalog Name and Catalog Description.

    6. For example:

    • Catalog Name: Business and Management
    • Catalog Description: The catalog contains business terms of the organization.
  6. Click .
    A catalog is created and added to the catalog tree.

Once a catalog is created, you can manage it using the options available on right-clicking the catalog. Managing catalogs involves:

  • Creating sub-catalogs
  • Editing catalogs
  • Importing or exporting catalogs
  • Assigning users
  • Viewing workflows
