Organize Glossary Terms with Label

The glossary allows you to standardize the meaning of wordings in your project. However, in some cases, you might find that they are a bit difficult to manage, for example, a user is new to the project may have no idea on where the term is from. In Visual Paradigm for UML 8.0 (VP-UML), you can categorize the terms by defining and assigning label to them. This tutorial will teach you how to categorize the terms by using labels.
