Terminology management

Feature overview

Purpose

Terminology management establishes a unified business vocabulary for the current project version and records the term name, English name, alias, abbreviation and source. Object type names can be selected from the glossary when modeling.

In practice: Let "different names for the same concept" have a clear correspondence.

Main features

• Uniform name: Maintain Chinese and English names and business descriptions.
• Alias Management: Save common names as alias tags.
• Modeling Reuse: As a reference source when naming Object Types.

FAQ

  Object Types form uses the selected name as the fill-in content; it cannot be assumed that subsequent name changes will be automatically synchronized.
