Step 3: How to add objects to your app

You can add objects manually, or import them by scanning a data application, which you will learn in Step 5: How to automatically scan data.

For the Business Glossary app, we need to first add a parent object which will serve as a container for all relevant children objects.

1. In the top-right corner of your Business Glossary app, click  .
2. Name your parent object. The object type is predetermined to be a Business Domain. Business domains allow you to categorize your glossary however you need, e.g., by departments or business functions.
