Validio can use AI to automatically discover catalog assets and schema fields that should be assigned to a glossary term. The suggestion workflow analyzes text patterns, lineage connections, and uses LLM refinement to find high-quality matches.

Prerequisites

Glossary term suggestions require glossary: WRITE permission and that AI features are enabled in your workspace. For more information, see Enabling AI Features.

Start a Suggestion Workflow

1. Navigate to the details page for a glossary term (Catalog > Glossary > (term name)).
2. Click Find matches to start the suggestion workflow.
3. Check boxes to include Catalog assets and/or Schema fields in the search.
4. Select an LLM credential to use, and click Find matches.

The system runs through several stages to find matching assets and fields:

1. Fetching term metadata
2. Matching text patterns against asset and field names
3. Analyzing lineage connections for related assets
4. LLM refinement to improve match quality
5. Preparing results

A progress indicator shows real-time status as the workflow runs.

Review Suggestions

When the workflow completes, a preview dialog displays the results in two groups:

• Catalog asset suggestions -- Assets whose names or metadata match the term.
• Schema field suggestions -- Individual fields within assets that match the term.

Each suggestion shows the asset or field name, its location, and a match explanation.

Apply Suggestions

1. Review the suggestions in the preview dialog.
2. Select the suggestions you want to apply using the checkboxes.
3. Click Apply selected to create the term assignments.

You can dismiss individual suggestions or click Clear all to discard all results and start fresh.

Cancel a Workflow

If a suggestion workflow is still in progress, you can cancel it from the progress indicator. This stops the analysis without creating any assignments.
