Asset page overview

Important 

In Collibra 2024.02, we've launched a new user interface (UI) in beta 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:

The asset page provides an overview of information related to an asset, based on the assignment of the asset type. The assignment determines which and how many elements are added to the asset page by default.

The asset title bar contains numbers 1-7 in the screenshot above.

Number Section Description

Breadcrumbs

 The breadcrumbs of the current asset.

Asset type representation and Asset name

The icon or abbreviation of the asset type.

Tip You can edit how an asset type is represented.

Asset type and certified level of the asset

 The asset type is in blue under the asset name. The certified level is shown next to that.

Asset tab bar

 

 A tab bar that allows you to navigate to other pages of the asset.

Menu pane

 The options in the menu pane take you to different section on this asset page to find what you are looking for more efficiently.

Attribute

An attribute is a characteristic of an asset containing information about the asset. This information can be in various formats, depending on the attribute kind:

  • True/False: A binary choice.
  • Date: The format of the date depends on the user's locale settings.
  • Multiple selection: One or more values from a predefined list.
  • Number: If this is a fraction, the decimal separator shown in the UI is decided by the user's locale settings, usually a comma or a dot.
  • Selection: One value from a predefined list.
  • Text: This may also include images and hyperlinks.
Note 
  • If a text attribute is a hyperlink to an asset, you cannot open the link in a new tab by right-clicking.
  • If a text attribute does not have any value, it shows the following message: No value has been given yet.
  • If a text attribute has an empty value, it shows the following message: Empty value.
  • Text attributes can have up to 100.000 bytes.

Show empty values toggle

 This toggle allows you to see attributes, relations, or complex relations that have been added to the asset, but do not have any text within to view.

At a glance sidebar

This new sidebar allows you to see the following information:

  • The date the asset was last modified.
  • The stewards responsible for the asset.. These roles can be removed from your layout entirely and this section will not appear.
  • The average rating for the asset and how many ratings the asset has.
  • The articulation score.
  • The tags given to the asset.

Collapse All/Expand All buttons

 These buttons can either collapse all, (close) or expand all (open) of the attributes, relations, and complex relations on the asset page.

Relation

Relations of the same type are shown in a list. You can show the list in different display modes:

  • Table: You can also choose the columns, or sort and filter their content.
  • Tiles: You can choose which fields to show and determine how many tiles to display.
Number Section Description

Breadcrumbs

 The breadcrumbs of the current asset.

Asset type representation

The icon or abbreviation of the asset type.

Tip You can edit how an asset type is represented.

Asset name

 The name of the asset.

Resource toolbar

 Additional actions, such as editing the asset and starting a workflow.

Articulation score

 

 The articulation score of the asset.

Note If there are no articulation score rules assigned to the asset, the asset page does not show an articulation score.

Asset validation

 The validation result of the validation rules assigned to the asset.

Stewards

The stewards of the asset.

You can see up to three stewards on the asset page. If there are more, click See all <number> to see them on the Responsibilities page.

Tab pane

 A collapsible pane that allows you to navigate to other pages of the asset and add characteristics as specified in the assignment.

Editor

The currently selected page, in this case the Overview page, which contains all the attributes, relations and complex relations that have been defined for the asset and whose type was added to the relevant assignment.

If a certain attribute type has been assigned as mandatory for this asset type, this attribute is shown in the asset's Overview tab, even if no attribute value has been defined yet.

If you want to paste text from external sources into the text box, we recommend clicking <></> and then pasting the text into the Source Code dialog box. This allows you to edit the HTML source code and help remove any unwanted formatting or tags. The Source Code dialog box does not support iframes.
For now, tables can be edited only by modifying the HTML source code. An edit menu will be available in an upcoming release.

Complex relation

Complex relations of the same type can be shown in different ways:

  • Table: You can show related assets in a table. This is the default way. You can edit this table in the same way you can any other table.
  • Diagram: You can show complex relations as a diagram to visualize the underlying relations. You can scroll through the diagram and move nodes, but you cannot edit the diagram as extensively as you can via a diagram view.
