Using Glossary Terms in Your Models

Enabling the glossary in your model provides autocompletion for object names (including guidance to discourage the use of synonyms) and enables model checks to guide your models toward glossary compliance.

1. Select Tools > Model Options, then click Naming Convention in the category list and select Use glossary for autocompletion and compliance checking to enable the use of the glossary in your model.
2. When entering the names of objects in property sheets, diagram symbols, object lists, or in the Browser, glossary terms are suggested to autocomplete the name. Continue typing or use the down arrow to descend to a term in the list, and press Enter to select it.

3. [optional] Perform a model check to see which objects have names containing terms that are not included in the glossary (see Checking Glossary Compliance).
