After adding Collibra Browser Extension, you must add the address of your Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud environment. Optionally, you can add web domains for Power BI, Tableau, and other important web applications. We recommend that you also pin the Extension to the toolbar of your browser.
Add the Collibra URL
Steps
- Open Collibra Browser Extension.
- In the Collibra Platform URL field, enter the address of your Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud environment.
The configuration is saved.
Optional: Add web domains
Some web applications have their own context menu, for example, Google Docs and Tableau. On such applications, you cannot perform a search via a context menu, as you would on other applications. You can consider adding web domains for such applications so that you can use the Browser Extension via the Collibra overlay.
You can also consider adding web domains for the web applications that you consider important so that the Collibra overlay appears on those applications for you to quickly launch the extension or as a reminder for you to use the extension. Adding web domains also allows you to benefit from the auto-matching feature.
