Catalog Glossary Term

A Catalog glossary term is documentation your organization creates inside Coalesce Catalog under Knowledge. It defines business language such as "active customer" or "net revenue" and links to related tables, Metrics, and Domains.

This docs site glossary at /docs/reference/glossary defines Coalesce product vocabulary: Workspace, Deploy, Lineage, and similar terms used across Transform and Catalog documentation.

Both help readers understand data, but they serve different audiences:

  • Catalog glossary terms: your company's business definitions, editable in the Catalog app.
  • Docs site glossary: Coalesce platform terms, maintained in documentation and available as inline <Definition> tooltips.

See Knowledge Pages to author Catalog glossary terms and Document a Documentation Initiative for rollout guidance.
