Enable or disable identical asset names per domain

By default, Collibra enforces Identical asset names per domain to ensure clarity and avoid confusion when searching for or referencing assets. This practice helps maintain data quality and prevents ambiguity, especially in large and complex data environments. From a technical standpoint, it ensures that the full names and display names of assets are in sync.

In cases where you need to use a different naming convention or require different assets to have the same display name, you can enable identical asset names per domain by asset type.

Steps

1. Open an asset type.
   1. On the main toolbar, click → Settings.
      The Collibra settings page opens.
   2. Click Operating Model.
      The Operating Model settings page opens.
   3. On the Asset types tab page, click the name of an asset type.

      The asset type page opens.

   Tip You can also open an asset type from an asset page by clicking the asset type in the upper-left corner of the asset page.

2. In the upper-right corner, click Edit.
   The Edit <asset type> dialog box appears.
   
3. Select or clear the Allow identical asset names per domain checkbox.
4. Click Save.
