About diagrams

Diagrams allow you to show and interact with many assets and their relations in an easy-to-read format. They help identify how a specific asset is related to other assets.

You can find the diagram for an asset on the Diagram tab of the asset page. You can use the diagram editor to customize how a diagram is shown. Collibra provides several out-of-the-box diagram views for common use cases, and you can also create and share your own diagram views.

Here are some features you can expect from diagrams:

New diagram canvas (in preview)

The new diagram canvas includes a simplified header navigation for working with diagrams. It offers the same options but with a different layout, including:

  • View options in the header (Layout, Traversal Strategy, and Depth) are grouped under Display options.
  • Edit view options are renamed and grouped under More icon.
    • Edit icon (Edit name and description) is now Edit details.
    • Save icon (Save (as) view) is now Duplicate view.
    • Share icon (Share view) is now Copy link.
    • Trash icon (Delete view) is still Delete view.
  • Zoom toolbar options are grouped together on the right side of the diagram.
  • All other toolbar options are grouped together below the diagram.
