Linking items in Sparx Enterprise Architect Glossary


I'm looking for a way to link several items with each other in the Sparx Enterprise Architect Glossary. Is this a possibility?

Example

Term Definition Links to
Fact Something that happend Follow-up
Registration
Follow-up Action following a fact Result
Registration Writing the fact down -
Result The effect of the follow-up -

I'm looking for a way to register the third column making it easier to have a traceability within the glossary.


Solution

  • You can't do that with the standard glossary, but you can with the new glossary modes (since v15) See the manual for more info.

    This new method allows you to create elements for glossary items. And since they are elements, you can link them to other elements.

    You can even use the classes of your existing data model. Just add them to a glossary diagram, and they are included in the glossary.
