Enable automatic hyperlinking in a domain

Automatic hyperlinking is especially useful for linking to Business Term assets. But as every asset is a possible target, automatic hyperlinking can lead to an excessive amount of hyperlinks, which can negatively affect performance. Therefore, by default, automatic hyperlinking is disabled for all domains.

Nevertheless, you can enable automatic hyperlinking at the domain level.

Tip You can use the Manage auto hyperlinks workflow to enable or disable automatic hyperlinking in bulk.

Prerequisites

Automatic hyperlinking is enabled. Contact Collibra support if this is not the case.

Steps

1. Go to the domain page of the domain for which you want to enable automatic hyperlinking.
2. In the toolbar, click Auto hyperlinks.
   The Auto hyperlinks dialog box appears.
3. Enter the required information.

   Field	Description
   No Automatic Hyperlink	Collibra will not create automatic hyperlinks to assets in this domain when its name occurs in a text attribute of another asset. You can use this option when the asset name is a common word like ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘it', etc. You can still create manual hyperlinks to this asset.

4. Click to close the dialog box.

What's next?

Rebuild the hyperlinks to automatically create the hyperlinks to all the assets in the domain.
