Adding a glossary entry for an unreferenced term

Question

I am using the glossary package.

I want to include terms in the glossary that are not referred to in the text.

That sounds weird, but it's not --- the terms are actually included in a figure, and I don't intend to write about them in the body of the text, but rather refer my reader to the glossary.

How can I force the inclusion of a term in the glossary without using the \gls command or otherwise referencing the term in the text. I took a look at the manual but it was not clear to me how to accomplish this even in light of that info.

thanks

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Heiko Oberdiek, May 23 '17 at 21:25

I used glsaddall to solve this. I hadn't used it yet and terms were showing up in the glossary probably on account of my referencing them.
