Importing
The import functionality allows you to create or edit data in bulk in Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.
By importing, you can create and edit communities, domains, assets, mappings or complex relations and their characteristics such as attributes, relations and tags
Tip If you want to edit a lot of assets in one go, you can perform the so-called export/import roundtrip. First create a view that contains all the assets and characteristics that you want to edit, then export the assets from that view. You can then edit the exported file, and import the assets back into the same view. Collibra will automatically map the characteristics during the import, implementing your changes.
For example, you can use the import functionality to do the following:
- Create assets in a new or existing domain.
- Add and edit characteristics of existing assets.
- Edit the display name or full name of existing assets.
- Move assets to a new or existing domain.
Tip You can also use the import functionality for integrations and synchronization with external systems. Instead of manually importing and exporting assets, you can use the Import REST API to automate the workflow. Visit the Developer Portal to learn more.
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.
