The Glossary List enables you to have a pool of ready-to-use expansion glossaries.
It can be displayed either in a Glossary Table or in a Glossary Drop‑Down List on the Instant Text Title Bar. The location can be configured on a per-application basis in the Client Configurator.

Abbreviations are always interpreted within the entries of the Current Glossary (the highlighted one). So you may wonder what is the point of heaving the other glossaries in the list.
Switching to a glossary of the Glossary List will never slow you down. It is instantaneous.
On the other hand, consider a glossary that is not yet pooled in the Glossary List. In order to use it, you will need to first open it, which involves the following steps:
None of these time-consuming steps is needed for a glossary that is already pooled in the Glossary List: it is ready-to-use because all the work has already been done beforehand, when joining the Glossary List.
Right‑clicking the Glossary Table opens the Glossary Menu.
Right‑clicking on the Glossary Table Number Column opens the Lines Menu.
Clicking on the Current Glossary opens it in the Glossary Viewer.
Clicking on a glossary that is not yet the Current Glossary makes it the Current Glossary.
Right-clicking the Glossary Drop‑Down List opens the Glossary Menu.
Clicking the
Glossary Drop‑Down List
opens it, displaying the complete
Glossary List.
As a second step, clicking on a glossary selects it as
Current Glossary,
and the
Glossary Drop‑Down List
closes automatically.
