I'm considering creating and managing a Glossary of Terms in Guru. I'm deliberating whether to have individual cards for each term, or group terms under related sections. Grouping is an option as verification is done by different teams. And what's the difference between a Board and a Board Group, and how would I use them differently? Any thoughts....

Best answer by Ian Link

as for Board Groups, they are buckets for Boards to be grouped into

I created sections for each letter, the term as the title, then the description as the body

the idea is that once cards can be shared across collections, I can share out the term cards to other glossaries that are specific to the collection it resides in but all ties back to the master glossary list

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. I like your approach. Did you consider acronyms in your solution?

Will acronym search still work for that approach?
