Create assets

In Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, domain types are assigned to asset types. You can add an asset to only that domain whose domain type is assigned to the asset type of the asset.

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:

Before you begin

Note The requirements and permissions for creating an asset depend on the values that you select in the Domain and Type fields when creating the asset.

  • You have a resource role with the Asset > Add resource permissions..
    Tip This permission is granted through a resource role that is assigned to you either on the domain or on the community to which the domain belongs (via inheritance). For more information, go to Responsibilities.

  • The asset type which you want to create is activated by your license.

    Tip Go to Overview of packaged asset types for a mapping of the out-of-the-box asset types to the products that need to be included in your license in order to use an asset type.

Steps

  1. Open the product for which you want to create an asset, for example, Business Glossary.
  2. On the main toolbar, click .
    The Create dialog box appears.
  3. Click the Assets tab, then click an asset type from the list.
    The Create Asset dialog box appears.

Tip The Recent tab next to the Assets tab displays the 5 most recent asset types created within the last month. You can select asset types here and create assets more efficiently.

  1. Enter the required information.
    FieldDescription
    Type

    The asset type of the asset that you are creating.

    Domain

    The domain to which the asset will belong.

    Tip Ensure that the domain type of the selected domain is assigned to the selected asset type.

    Asset name Name

    A name to identify the asset. Asset names have a character limit of 2000 characters.

    Tip 

    You can simultaneously create multiple assets.
    To do so, after typing the name, press Enter, and then type the next name. Depending on the settings, asset names may need to be unique in their domain. If you enter a name that already exists, it appears in the strike-through style.

  2. Click Create.
    A message stating that one or more assets are created appears in the upper-right corner of the page.
