Hi. We are creating Metrics Glossary using Datahub Glossary functionality. Is works great except for one thing: we would like to be able to include one Metric (Term) into several Term Groups (like for different reports it is used in). Is there some way to do it, so we create several Terms entities for the same Term, but for this Term to belong to several Term Groups?
Or is there some other fucntionality that can help us with it? Like maybe we can unite Terms with Tags, but as far as I can see now we're not able to add Tags to Terms.
or maybe there's some other Datahub functionaluty than I didn't think of and that can help me with that?

That’s an interesting question. What do the term groups represent currently for you (when you are connecting them to reports)

@mammoth-bear-12532 We are creating Metrics Glossary (metrics like MAU, DAU, etc, a lot more), which works well using Glossary cause we can instantly link them to the tables where the metrics are calculated, And the groups for them are created following reports that metrics are used in, like monthly reports, reports for different stakeholders, for inner analytics etc

We do have the same requirement, one term like UUID below to Ads (a term group) but still under Personal Information (another term group).

If UUID is unique to Ads, then you should create it there.. and then relate it to another term (a more generic ID term) under Personal Information using the "isA" relationship (inherits)

this can show up in other scenarios as well.. e.g. Email could be specialized under different groups: Customer.Email or User.Email and you might want to ensure you have different data handling rules for these different subtypes... but you still want to treat both Customer.Email and User.Email as Personal-Information.Email (via inherits) which brings in Classification.Confidential again via inherits.
