The 'Super' Glossary
As you build your document assembly system, over time you will have several (perhaps many) subject oriented glossaries from which you can build documents. However, you will find that you will also be collecting/creating a substantial number of generic terms and clauses that are important to retain but which are not directly associated with a particular subject. For example, the address to the Clerk of the Court (or client, or agency, etc.) does not 'belong' to the Contracts glossary more than it belongs to the Wills or Proposals glossaries. So, you need a glossary that is more 'general' in nature, one that can house those frequently used addresses, signature blocks, and other often called for 'boilerplate' or 'must have at my fingertips' clauses and terms. This describes what Pathagoras refers to as a 'general' glossary, and everybody needs one. The general glossary can be called anything, but we suggest you call it "General Glossary." (Regardless of what name you choose, we will call the general glossary by that name.)
Other screens discuss the General ("Position #1") glossary. This a glossary that is placed on shelf #1 of a particular libary. If a requested term is not otherwise associated with a glossary (e.g., a prefixed term), Pathagoras will look in the Postition #1 glossary for the term. If the term is not found there, it will look in the Super Glossary, if one has been established.
To create a Super Glossary, go to the Pathagoras drop down menu and click Glossary Tools. One the front page of the menu is a text box labeled "Super Glossary". Click the black button immediately to the left of the text box to set/reset the Super Glosssry.
