Importing

The import functionality allows you to create or edit data in bulk in Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.

When you import, you create or edit assets or complex relations and their characteristics such as attributes, relations and tags from a view.

Tip For easier bulk changes, you can perform the so-called export/import roundtrip. First create a view that contains all the characteristics, then export that view, edit the exported file, and import it back into the same view. Collibra will automatically map the characteristics during the import.

For example, you can use the import functionality to do the following:

• Create assets in an existing domain.
• Create assets in a new domain.
• Add and edit characteristics of existing assets.
• Edit the display name of existing assets.
• Edit the full name of existing assets.
• Move assets to an existing domain.
• Move assets to a new domain.

Note Exporting and importing assets and complex relations is restricted by the file upload settings, which determine the maximum file size, allowed file extensions and maximum amount of uploads and downloads per day. Contact Collibra support if you want to change the file upload settings.
