When you enable the use of glossary terms for your object naming conventions, additional model checks help you monitor glossary compliance for object names and automate the replacement of unapproved synonyms with approved glossary terms. You can restrict the scope of your compliance efforts by disabling the checks for certain object types on a model-by-model basis.
The following checks are enabled for all model objects when you select Use glossary for autcompletion and compliance checking for your naming conventions (see Naming Conventions):
|
Check |
Description and Correction |
|---|---|
Name/Code contains terms not in glossary |
[if glossary enabled] Names and codes must contain only approved terms drawn from the glossary.
To disable this check for a given object type, clear its check box in the tree in the Check Model Parameters dialog. To reduce its severity from Error to Warning, right-click the check and select Warning. The check icon changes to a warning sign. |
Name/Code contains synonyms of glossary terms |
[if glossary enabled] Names and codes must not contain synonyms of glossary terms.
To enable the automatic replacement of synonyms with approved glossary terms for a given object type, right-click the check in the Check Model Parameters dialog, and select Automatic Correction. A small overlay with a red cross appears at the bottom-right of the check icon. |
In addition, the following check is enabled for models and packages to allow administrators to add terms used in object names to the glossary:
|
