1. Glossary Branding

Branding Smart Terms: you can customize the top area of the glossary by adding a custom glossary title, glossary logo, and the announcement.

There are two levels of branding configuration: 

A space key indication is added to the glossary title.

When the glossary is global or deactivated, a special icon displays to the right of the title.

2. Alphabetical index 

This allows filtering terms alphabetically like in dictionaries. 

The alphabetic index is auto-structured. When a new term title is added with a new letter, this letter is automatically added to the index list.

3. New term

Displays the Term creation form. (Check the roles matrix for more details about term creation's permissions)

4. Actions

Actions display depending on the user's rights. Check the Roles matrix for more details.
