Edit hyperlink settings

In Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud, each asset is a potential target of an automatically created hyperlink. If a text attribute contains the name of another asset, it is automatically converted to a link to that asset.

Note The text editor on asset pages and domain pages includes an "Exclude from autohyperlinking" button, to disable autohyperlinking for text attributes.

Prerequisites

  • You have the SUPER role in Collibra Console.

Steps

  1. Open the DGC service settings for editing:
    1. Open Collibra Console.
      Collibra Console opens with the Infrastructure page.
    2. In the tab pane, expand an environment to show its services.
    3. In the tab pane, click the Data Governance Center service of that environment.
    4. Click Configuration.
    5. Click Edit configuration.
  2. In the Hyperlinking configuration section, make the necessary changes.
    SettingDescription
    Enable hyperlinking (Requires restart)
    • True: Hyperlinks are created automatically.
    • False (default): Hyperlinks are not created automatically.

    For more information about automatic hyperlinks, see Hyperlinking.

    Warning If you enable this setting, the performance of Collibra can decrease.
    Enable case sensitivity (Requires restart)
    • True: Hyperlinks are case-sensitive.
    • False (default): Hyperlinks are not case-sensitive.

    Note If you edit this setting, you have to reindex Collibra.

    Batch size (Requires restart)

    The maximum number of text attributes that can be processed in a single transaction.

    The default value is 50,000.

    The higher the value, the more memory used to create the hyperlinks, which happens each time you edit an asset or import data. The lower the value, the more time required for this process.

    Excluded asset type IDs (Requires restart)

    The list of asset types that are ignored by automatic hyperlinking. You can enter multiple asset type IDs, separated by commas.

    Excluding assets reduces the amount of hyperlinks, which improves performance.

    Tip We recommend that you exclude technical asset types such as Column, Field, Table, Code Value and Code Set.

    Note If you edit this setting, you have to reindex Collibra.

  3. Click the green Save all button.
  4. Restart the environment to apply your changes. See Stop an environment and Start an environment.
  5. Reindex Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.
