The Create button

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

In Collibra Platform, there is a green Create button at the top of the screen. It enables you to create any resource from any location, if you have the correct permissions.

The following categories are available for you via the Create button:

Category Description
Suggested

A list of resources that you might want to create.

Important The resources available to you here depend on your location in Collibra.

  • If you are on one of the submenu pages, for example, Business assets, Metrics or Glossaries, the suggested resources are specific to that submenu page.
  • If you are on a domain page, the suggested resources are all the asset types that are assigned to the domain.
  • If you are on a community page, the suggested resources are all the asset types that are assigned to the domains in the community.
  • If you are on an asset page, the suggested resource is an asset of that same type.

This list is not available when you click the Create button from the default dashboard.
Recent A list of recently created resources, most recent first.
Actions A list of global workflows that have the option Show in global create enabled.
Asset A list of all the asset types that are available in your data governance model. The list is divided into sections, according to the parent asset type, for example, Business Asset or Data Asset.
Organization A list of organizational resources, such as a Community or a Business Asset Domain.

To quickly find what you are looking for, type a search term in the Filter field. The results are based on the category you selected.

Note You can only create assets of a certain type in a certain domain if that asset type has been assigned to that domain.
If you try to create an asset of a type that is not assigned to the domain you are currently in, the Domain field in the Create dialog box is not automatically filled in.
