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:
Collibra contains a large number of packaged data classes. If a certain data class is not available, you can add it. Data classes that are defined manually are user-defined data classes.
Tip You can also create new data classes from a Table or Column asset.
Before you begin
- You have configured Automatic Data Classification via the Cloud Data Classification Platform or via Edge.
- You have the necessary permissions to classify tables and columns.
- You have registered a data source.
Steps
-
On the main toolbar, click
, then 
Stewardship.
- In the submenu, click Data Classification.
The table with all data classes is shown. - Above the table to the right, click Add.
- Enter the name of a data class and press Enter.
The name of the data class is case-sensitive and it can contain spaces.
You can enter multiple data classes. - Click Create.
The classes are added.
If you are using Jobserver, the classes are automatically sent to the Cloud Data Classification Platform.
If you are using Edge, the classes are not used to retrain the classification process. - Optionally you can link the new classes to a Data Concept or Data Attribute asset.
