Before you begin
You must have the Information Governance Catalog Basic User role or higher to browse the catalog.

You must have the Information Governance Catalog Glossary Author role, and either the Editor or Publisher workflow role to browse the development glossary.
About this task
When you browse, you display a list or a hierarchical tree of catalog content. The hierarchical format helps you to better understand the meaning of the asset and its relationships with other assets.
You can narrow the type of content that you view at one time by choosing to browse a particular type of asset. You can also browse by label or by steward. New asset types that you registered in the catalog are shown in the Browse All window. Assets of these new types have their own Details page.

If the catalog administrator chose to hide selected information asset types, those asset types are not displayed in search, query, filter, and browse lists. Glossary asset types are always displayed. If the search, query, filter, and browse results are not what you expect, you can check the list of information asset types for display.
If the catalog administrator chose to display glossary assets in specific languages, only glossary assets that are in those languages are shown in query, filter, and browse lists. The hierarchical tree format uses language preferences to determine what assets are shown in the display. If a glossary asset is not shown based on language preferences, then its child assets are also not shown. For example, term Tree has the Language field defined as English. A child term of Tree is Abfallend, which has the Language field defined as German. A child term of Abfallend is Oak, whose Language field is defined as English. If the content of the glossary assets is defined as English, the term Abfallend and its child term Oak are not shown.
