Glossary

The shared glossary for every part of the handbook, in the alphabetical order of the German terms. The English column gives the equivalent that appears in templates, export columns and technical contexts. It is not always a translation; sometimes it is the actual identifier.

Terms that are identifiers

Some terms are also identifiers and are therefore not translated, even in an English environment: Wahl, Feldart, Modifier, Dateibereich, Kanban, Moliri. They appear in this form in templates, export columns and error messages.
