Preconfigure the Browser Extension

If you are an administrator, you can preconfigure the Collibra Browser Extension via Collibra Console. The preconfiguration enables faster onboarding of new users of the Browser Extension.

Preconfiguring the Browser Extension involves specifying the web domains to show the Browser Extension overlay for a quick search and to enable auto-matching for tools such as Power BI and Tableau.

The preconfiguration eliminates the need for users to specify the web domains. They can, however, still add their own web domains.

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. Go to the Collibra Browser Extension configuration section.
  3. Enter the required information.

    Field

    Description

    Domain Type

    The type of the web domain on which you want the proactive services to be triggered (for example, Power BI or Tableau).

    Tip 
    • For the Power BI domain, select POWERBI. We recommend that you select POWER_BI_UNRESTRICTED only if the default domain type for Power BI, POWERBI, does not work as expected (for example, for an on-premises Power BI implementation).
    • For websites for which we do not provide the auto-matching feature, select DEFAULT.
    Target DomainThe address of the web application where the Collibra Browser Extension will be most helpful, such as the web address of your Business Intelligence tool, intranet, or ticket system.
    Tip To add more web domains, in the Collibra Browser Extension configuration section, click Add.
  4. Click Save all.
    You have preconfigured the Browser Extension.
