Manage glossary

Use the Nintex Process Manager glossary to provide definitions for acronyms, abbreviations or commonly used terms which are specific and/or used widely at your organisation. Glossary tags help create a shared understanding of corporate terminology and help to articulate any legislation or policy clauses your organization follows. When the glossary terms are used in a process, Nintex Process Manager adds a dotted underline to indicate that there is more information available. Hovering the mouse over one of these terms in a process map or procedure view displays the definition for the term. All users can edit glossary tags.
