Activities

An activity is a process that Collibra runs in the background. While the process is running, you can use Collibra as usual. Some examples of activities include importing and exporting assets, registering a data source, and profiling data.

For an overview of your most recent activities, click Activity icon Activities on the main menu.

Full lists of activities are available on your profile page and in the Collibra settings:

  • The Activities tab on your profile page contains a table with all your activities. You can also open it by clicking Go to All Activities in the activities list on the main menu, or by opening your profile page and then clicking the Activities tab
  • The Activities tab in the General section of the Collibra settings contains a table with all activities started by all users.

The table supports infinite scrolling and does not refresh automatically. The Last refresh timestamp at the top of the table shows the date and time of the last refresh in your local time. To refresh the table, click Refresh next to the timestamp.

You can filter the table by name, status, and job result. You can also use the column picker to select which columns to show.

To delete an activity, click the Trash icon Delete icon at the end of the row. You can also select multiple activities and click the Delete button at the top of the table to delete them at the same time. Deleting an activity changes its status to Deleted.

The following table describes the columns shown in the Activities tab.
