Glossary
EA Infoport can display the Enterprise Architect repository dictionary (this is standard EA functionality). The dictionary consists of a term, a type (general dictionary, product dictionary, etc.), and its meaning. It is particularly useful for explaining the meaning of abbreviations used. Glossaries can be edited directly in Infoport or in Enterprise Architect. The glossary is displayed as a filterable list. It is therefore possible to search for a certain type of terms or to full-text search for the occurrence of a certain word. In order to create, edit and delete the glossary, the user must be assigned the permission "Portal Administrator, Repository Administrator or Glossary Editor".
