Glossary Editor Import / Export

jnicholas330

I wanted to update one of my glossaries using an external tool, so I exported the data as a CSV. However, when I reimported it, the fields didn't map 1-to-1. It appears that the Export uses a Oracle Data Modeler specific format, while the import uses an ERwin format. Please add an import option that can consume the data exported from the tool.

Glosary editor can export in CSV (text) or XLS(Excel) format. And it can import text format(CSV/TXT that for ERwin) , Data Modeler format (if you want to import another glossary - probably edited) and Excel format. Tested with export/import of Excel format and it works for me. In excel format you only can modify existing fields, cannot add new terms into glossary.

I do not see the XLS option. However, if DM is unable to read in new entries, it would not serve my needs.

Sorry, I was looking DM 4.2

DM 4.1.5 is out and now export to CSV is bound to content in DM glossary (all elements of word definition are exported) and you can change it or add new elements and import it later.

In DM 4.2 that can be done also with Excel format (you need to have some existing entries in the excel file )
