Glossary User Guide - Version 3.4.1
Migration of data storage model
In this release we are moving to Active Objects, the new ORM (object relational mapping) layer to manage persistent data in Atlassian (You can read more about Active Objectis within this link)
This implementation will provide us better management of content stored by Glossary in order to expose and reuse them easily after. Active Objects enables easier, faster, and more scalable data access and storage than the existing Bandana and PluginSettings APIs.
This change does not impact features or the display of Glossary elements. It will only engage a migration operation during the installation to move data from old storage model to new database tables.
Highlight Abbreviations and Synonyms
To enable highlight of synonyms and/or abbreviations, a new parameter has been added to space configuration as displayed in screenshot below:
When selecting one of those options or both, pages content is highlighted either if it's defined as a word and as a synonyms and/or abbreviations.
You can find an example of highlight content below:
Please note that if content is defined both as a term and an abbreviation or synonym both definitions will be retrieved and user can browse them.
Enable/Disable highlight per space
You can enable or disable highlight per space from Glossary Space configuration.
If disabled, no "Book" icons will be displayed in the space and auto-highlight functions are disabled.
By default, Highlight is enabled for each space where glossary has been recently created.
