Enable automatic hyperlinking in a domain

Automatic hyperlinking will create a hyperlink to an asset if it's name is mentioned on another asset, for example in a text attribute. This is especially useful for linking to Business Term assets. However, as every asset is a possible target, automatic hyperlinking can lead to an excessive amount of hyperlinks, which can negatively affect performance. Therefore, automatic hyperlinking is disabled by default for all domains.

If you want to use this feature, you can enable automatic hyperlinking at the domain level.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the automatic hyperlinking setting is enabled. Contact Collibra Support if it is not enabled.

Steps

1. Go to the domain page of the domain for which you want to enable automatic hyperlinking.
2. On the resource toolbar, click Actions → Auto hyperlinks.
   The Auto hyperlinks dialog box appears.
3. Clear the No Automatic Hyperlink box.
   The dialog box closes.

What's next?

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