Glossary of Terms

Question

Good Day!

FuseMind, Inc. is new to Confluence and I wonder if there is a Glossary of Terms that we can use with your templates?  I will be sharing a Space with others and want to make sure we build our documents in a consistent manner.  Our "Business" space is where we will be cataloging all of our clients' new requirements/developments, etc.

I've tried searching your documentation with "Glossary", "Definitions" but have not seen anything.

Thank you

Not that I know of - each section has documentation which explains how to use it here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud

Using templates as the example - there is a page on how to use templates which has some explanations about the default templates - see on the right-hand side of this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blueprints-and-user-created-templates-724764985.html

If you wanted your templates to be more descriptive you could customise them? Driver in this instance looks to be the person within the business driving the project - but could also be the reason for doing the project.

That is where customisation - so you can add your own instructional text which means something to your clients - would be useful :)

Good Morning,

By Glossary of Terms I mean definitions of terms/labels/titles used within Confluence.

Example:  the Project Plan Template has the term "driver" as a column title then "@mention the driver" in the text box.  What does this mean?

Thank you

When you say Glossary of Terms - do you mean a template for creating a Glossary?

Or a glossary of what Confluence's components are / mean - eg. what a page is? what a space is? Like a shortened version of this page: https://www.atlassian.com/collaboration/confluence-organize-work-in-spaces
