The purpose of the article is to present the Glossary module and list the main related articles.
The purpose of the module Glossary is to answer the question: what is the data used? It's a definition referential that will help to contextualize data. It manages properties and relations between them to create a knowledge base that all users can access, whether they are from the business or IT department.
The module is automatically created as soon as a Project or Organization is created.
