Relation views

An asset page provides an overview of information about an asset, based on the assignment of its asset type. This includes relations and complex relations. Complex relations are shown only if you have permission to view all assets in the complex relation.

A relation view is a section on an asset page that shows all related assets of the same relation type or complex relation type.

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence 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:

Display modes

Relations and complex relations of the same type are grouped into separate sections, with the relation type as the section title. Each section can be shown in one of the following modes:

  • Table (default): Related assets are shown as a table.

Managing a relation view

Each relation type or complex relation type section on an asset page has a default relation view. You can, however, change the following:

  • Display mode (table, tiles, or list)
  • Columns shown in a table or fields shown in a set of tiles
  • Number of rows or tiles shown per page
  • Sorting direction
  • Width of each column in table display mode
Tip 
  • Your changes to a relation view are automatically saved.
  • If you have the Manage shared views, dashboard and search filter global permission, you can also set a default relation view for all users. To do so, customize the view as needed, and then click Save for all users.To do so, customize the view as needed, and then click (Save for all users). This action updates the relation view for everyone, but they can still customize it as needed.
