Sharing a dictionary between projects

For anyone who may come across this question, Jason was able to help me work something out. Essentially, I have set up one "project" in Case Complete, with folders under it for each of the different business areas that the entire team services. That way, each person can check out their "Folder" within the project, and we all share a dictionary that is at the same level. There isn't a way to systemically limit who can access the Global dictionary, but we'll handle that via policies. Its really fairly elegant, you just have to make sure your reports select just your project, and the global dictionary. I did this by adding a parameter to the report we use to generate the full BRD, and we key in the project name we want. Then, we don't get other people's use cases, etc. in our BRD. But, by "hard coding" the template to also include the global dictionary in the "Glossary" section of my BRD, I got everything I needed. The folder structure looks like this (using the tutorial as an example, and imagine each of the sub folders are a separate department within the business, with their own application to handle their unique business processes); Loan Processing: ------ Global Dictionary ------ Loan Accounting ------ Customer Service ------ Delinquency Processing

Creat a package called Glossary (or dictionary or whatever). Add it to your son repository. Then add all your glossary terms to that one package. Nothing else goes in that package. Then open that package ever time you open any other package. If someone needs to add a term, they have to check it out of son, add the term, and check it back in. Other team members will then get notified that their glossary package is out of date. Since a lot of terms get created at once, it might be a good idea to hold a brainstorming session at the beginning of the project to generate an initial list.
