Asset page overview

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:

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

Image of an asset page

Number Section Description

Breadcrumbs

 Navigation path of the current asset.

You can use this to navigate to other resources or confirm you have the correct asset open.

Asset type representation and asset name

Icon or abbreviation of the asset type, followed by the name of the asset.

Asset type and asset status

 Asset type of the asset, followed by the status of the asset.

Asset tab bar

 

Horizontal tabs that allow you to navigate to specific sections on the asset page. These tabs vary from one asset to another depending on the asset type and your permissions.

The following list includes some of the tabs.

The Summary tab is available for every asset type and includes information such as description, asset relations, and descriptive statistics. The left pane shows the sections available on the tab. The characteristics shown on the tab depend on the asset type. For example, Column assets have descriptive statistic sections, whereas other assets might not. The left pane shows the sections available on the tab.

The Sample Data tab shows a small subset of data to help you determine if you have found the right assets for your work.

The Diagram tab shows the relations between the current asset and other assets.

The Technical Lineage tab shows a detailed chart depicting how data transforms and flows from source to destination.

The Quality tab shows results of the Data Quality rules set by your organization's Data Quality stewards.

The History tab shows the full picture of an asset’s life cycle, from its creation to the most recent actions.

The Attachments tab allows you to add images, reference material, or other files relevant to the asset.

Left pane

 Vertical tabs that allow you to navigate to specific sections within the Summary tab without scrolling.

Attributes

 Information about the asset.

An attribute is a characteristic of an asset that provides information about the asset. The format of this information depends on the attribute kind.

  • True/False: Binary choice.
  • Date: Format of the date depends on the user's locale settings.
  • Multiple selection: One or more values from a predefined list.
  • Number: For fractions, the decimal separator (comma or dot) shown in the UI is determined by the user's locale settings.
  • Selection: Single value from a predefined list.
  • Text: Text, links, or images. A text attribute can have up to 100,000 bytes. If a text attribute is a link to an asset, you can't open the link in a new tab by right-clicking.

Show Empty Optional Values

 Switching on this option additionally shows attributes, relations, and complex relations that don't contain any value.

Collapse All or Expand All

Collapses or expands all attributes, relations, and complex relations.

Relation

Relations of the same type associated with the asset. You can view these relations as a table or as a set of tiles and also customize them.
Action buttons Actions you can perform on the asset. They are preconfigured for the asset type, and they depend on workflow configuration and your permissions.
(At a glance) Shows or hides the At a glance sidebar.
Tasks icon (Tasks) Tasks open for the asset.
(More) Options to add the asset to a collection and print the asset page or save it as a PDF file.

At a glance sidebar

High-level information about the asset, such as the following:

Note 
  • The At a glance sidebar is hidden by default. To show it, click .
  • Collibra remembers your last selection—whether the sidebar was shown or hidden—and preserves it. However, clearing the local storage always hides the sidebar.
  • The availability of some of the information in the sidebar depends on the configuration of the asset type.

The asset title bar comprises numbers 1-7 from the image.

Number Section Description

Breadcrumbs

 Navigation path of the current asset.

Asset type representation

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, contains all of 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.

Attribute
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.
  • A text attribute can have up to 100,000 bytes.

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.

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.
