    2. Term details:
      1. Term: The term you wish to add to the glossary
      2. Part of speech: grammatical properties of the term e.g., noun, verb, adjective, etc.
      3. Description: description of the term
      4. Image: Relevant image (if required)
      5. Target language(s) terms: translations of the term in the respective language(s)
        Add Terms
        Note: While adding new terms, it is mandatory to add the relevant term translation to atleast one of the Target languages field.
         

        Once these details have been filled, click 'Add Term'.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
    1. Upload .xlsx file: One the file is uploaded, you will have to assign relevant headers to each column in the sheet. You will be able to assign relevant term details right from here. Click 'Configure' and voila, your Glossary file is uploaded and the terms are configured! 
Note: If due to unforeseen circumstances,  certain term(s) could not be uploaded to the glossary; an email with the ignored terms and instructions for re-uploading will be sent to your email id. 
Tip: If there is an expand icon next to your term, it means that there are details added to the associated term.
