Add Glossary Terms

The Glossary contains a listing of key business terms identified by your organization for structuring and navigating content. When Alteryx Connect is initially installed, the Glossary contains a few common business terms as a starting point. You can add individual terms directly to the Glossary, but if you have multiple terms to add, it may be more convenient to export the Glossary to Excel and have an administrator re-import the revised file.

1. From the Home screen, click Glossary.
2. In the lower-right corner of the window, click the Create (+) button.
3. In the Create Entry window, type a Title for the term and click Create.
4. Provide additional information for the new term, including any alternate (alias) names and a description (definition).
5. Click Save.

1. From the Home screen, click Glossary.

   • description: The definition for the new term, enclosed in <p> and </p> tags.

6. Save the Excel file and send it to an Alteryx Connect administrator to upload to the Alteryx Connect database. Administrators, see Upload the Glossary File.
