Business Glossary

Business Initiatives

A business initiative is a container of Glossary assets that you want to collectively approve and publish in business glossary. Use a business initiative to publish multiple business terms, categories, and policies at the same time. The business initiative goes through the same approval process as any other Glossary asset.
