Overview and diagram view
Synchronizing means refreshing the assets that are currently in Data Catalog as a result of a previous ingestion or synchronization job. After synchronizing Tableau, the assets in Data Catalog accurately reflect the metadata as it exists at the time of synchronization.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in Tableau.
- Some asset types are only created if the Tableau user has specific permissions.
- Relations that were created between Tableau assets and other assets via a relation type in the Tableau operating model, are deleted upon synchronization. The same is true of any attribute types in the operating model that you add to Tableau assets. To ensure that the characteristics you add to Tableau assets are not deleted upon synchronization, be sure to use characteristics that are not part of the Tableau operating model.
The following image shows the relations between Tableau asset types.
You can easily recreate this diagram view in your Collibra environment. See Create a Tableau operating model diagram view.
Harvested metadata per asset type
This table shows the metadata for each Tableau asset type and the resource ID for each asset type and metadata.
Note In Tableau, data objects descriptions can be inherited from other data objects. Any such inherited descriptions are not harvested.

Example of ingested Tableau metadata
The following image shows an example structure after synchronizing Tableau.
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:
Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain (or domains) in which your Tableau assets were ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your Tableau assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click
.
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Multipath.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Server hosts Business Dimension
- BI Folder assembles BI Folder
- Business Dimension groups Report
- Report groups Report
- Report uses Report
- Report uses Data Attribute
- BI Folder contains Data Asset
- BI Data Model contains BI Data Attribute
- Tableau Workbook contains Tableau Data Model
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create a Tableau operating model diagram view
You can create a Tableau-specific diagram view, to visualize the operating model. The following procedure provides instruction on how to quickly create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click
to add a new view. - Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.
- Click Show me the JSON code below this procedure, to expand the code.
- Click
in the top-right of the expanded code, to copy the code.
The code is copied to your clipboard. - Paste the code in diagram view text editor.
- Click Save.
- Edit the name and description of the diagram view, to suit your needs.

Overview and diagram view
The lineage harvester collects Power BI metadata and sends it to the Collibra Data Lineage service instances. Collibra processes the metadata and creates new Power BI assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram or in a technical lineage.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in Power BI. Full names and Display names cannot be changed in Data Catalog.
- Asset types are only created if you have all specific Power BI and Data Catalog permissions.
- The Power BI assets are created in the domain (or domains) that you specify in the lineage harvester configuration file.
- Relations that were created between Power BI assets and other assets via a relation type in the Power BI operating model, are deleted upon synchronization. The same is true of any attribute types in the operating model that you add to Power BI assets. To ensure that the characteristics you add to Power BI assets are not deleted upon synchronization, be sure to use characteristics that are not part of the Power BI operating model.
The following image shows the relations between Power BI asset types.
Harvested metadata per asset type
This table shows the harvested Power BI metadata for each Power BI asset type. This table also shows the resource ID for each asset type, attribute, and relation.
Note The metadata that is shown on the assets' pages depends on the asset type's assignment. As a result, you might not see all harvested metadata on the asset's page by default.
Additional information
For the Owner in source attribute, the following rules apply:
- If the system creates a
- If the user who created a
URLs to reports and dashboards that can't be found in Power BI
When you add a report or dashboard to an app in Power BI, what happens is that copies of the original report or dashboard is created in the app. The URL on the corresponding asset page in Collibra links directly to the copied report or dashboard in the app. However, if the name of the original report or dashboard changes, or if it has been deleted in Power BI, the copies in the app remain unchanged. Therefore, to remedy what would otherwise be links to outdated copies of reports or dashboards in Power BI, the URLs on the asset pages instead link to the Power BI app.
Example of ingested Power BI metadata
The following image shows an example structure after Power BI ingestion.
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:
Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain (or domains) in which your Power BI assets are ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your Power BI assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click .
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Multipath.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Server hosts Business Dimension
- BI Folder assembles BI Folder
- Business Dimension groups Report
- BI Report source Data Asset
- Data Model contains Data Entity
- Data Entity contains Data Attribute
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create a Power BI operating model diagram view
You can create a Power BI-specific diagram view, to visualize the operating model. The following procedure provides instruction on how to quickly create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click to add a new view.
- Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.
- Click Show me the JSON code below this procedure, to expand the code.
- Click in the top-right of the expanded code, to copy the code.
The code is copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the code in diagram view text editor.
- Click Save.
- Edit the name and description of the diagram view, to suit your needs.

Overview and diagram view
When you integrate MicroStrategy, Collibra Data Lineage creates new MicroStrategy assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram.
- The assets have the same names as their corresponding data objects in MicroStrategy.
- Asset types are only created if you have all specific MicroStrategy and Data Catalog permissions.
- All MicroStrategy assets are created in the same domain.
- Relations that were manually created between MicroStrategy assets and other assets via a relation type in the MicroStrategy operating model, are deleted after synchronizing the MicroStrategy metadata.
The following image shows the relations between MicroStrategy asset types.
Note Currently, relations between MicroStrategy Documents, MicroStrategy Dossiers, and MicroStrategy Reports cannot be shown.
Harvested metadata per asset type
This table shows the harvested MicroStrategy metadata for assets of each MicroStrategy asset type, assuming you have the necessary subscriptions and configurations for a full ingestion.
Important To access MicroStrategy data, you have to use the In-memory Dataset connection method in MicroStrategy, not the Live Connect connection method. If the data is not stored in memory, the MicroStrategy APIs can't access it.

Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain in which your MicroStrategy assets are ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your MicroStrategy assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click .
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Single path.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Server hosts Business Dimension
- BI Folder assembles BI Folder
- Business Dimension groups Report
- BI Report source Data Asset
- BI Folder contains Data Asset
- Data Model contains Data Entity
- Data Entity contains Data Attribute
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create a MicroStrategy operating model diagram view
You can create a MicroStrategy-specific diagram view, to visualize the operating model. The following procedure provides instruction on how to quickly create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click to add a new view.
- Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.

Overview and diagram view
The Looker scanner collects Looker metadata and sends it to the Collibra Data Lineage service. Collibra processes the metadata and creates new Looker assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram or in a technical lineage.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in Looker. Full names and Display names cannot be changed in Data Catalog.
- Asset types are only created if you have all specific Looker and Data Catalog permissions.
- All Looker asset types are created in the same domain.
- Relations that were manually created between Looker assets and other assets via a relation type in the Looker operating model are deleted after a refresh of the Looker metadata.
The following image shows the relations between Looker asset types.
Harvested metadata per asset type
The following table shows the harvested Looker metadata for each Looker asset type. This table also shows the resource ID for each asset type and metadata.

Example of ingested Looker metadata
The following image shows an example structure after Looker ingestion.
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:
Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain in which your Looker assets were ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your Looker assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click .
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Multipath.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Server hosts Business Dimension
- Business Dimension groups Report
- Report contains Report Attribute
- Technology Asset source system for Data Asset
- Data Set contains Data Element
- Data Attribute is source of Report Attribute
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create a Looker operating model diagram view
You can create a Looker-specific diagram view, to visualize the operating model. The following procedure provides instruction on how to quickly create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click to add a new view.
- Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.
- Click Show me the JSON code below this procedure, to expand the code.
- Click in the top-right of the expanded code, to copy the code.
The code is copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the code in diagram view text editor.
- Click Save.
- Edit the name and description of the diagram view, to suit your needs.

Overview and diagram view
Synchronizing means refreshing the assets that are currently in Data Catalog as a result of a previous ingestion or synchronization job. After synchronizing SAP Datasphere Catalog, the assets in Collibra Data Catalog accurately reflect the metadata as it exists at the time of synchronization.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Relations that were created between SAP Analytics Cloud assets and other assets via a relation type in the SAP Analytics Cloud operating model, are deleted upon synchronization. The same is true of any attribute types in the operating model that you add to SAP Analytics Cloud assets. To ensure that the characteristics you add to SAP Analytics Cloud assets are not deleted upon synchronization, be sure to use characteristics that are not part of the SAP Analytics Cloud operating model.
The following image shows the relations between SAP Analytics Cloud asset types.
You can easily recreate this diagram view in your Collibra environment. See Create a SAP Analytics Cloud operating model diagram view.

Example of ingested SAP Analytics Cloud metadata
The following image shows an example structure after synchronizing SAP Datasphere Catalog.
Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain (or domains) in which your SAP Analytics Cloud assets were ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your SAP Analytics Cloud assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click .
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Multipath.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Technology Asset groups Technology Asset
- Storage Container assembles BI Folder
- Business Dimension groups Report
- BI Folder contains Data Asset
- BI Folder assembles BI Folder
- Report contains Report Attribute
- Data Asset groups Data Asset
- BI Report source Data Asset
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create a SAP Analytics Cloud operating model diagram view
You can create a SAP Analytics Cloud-specific diagram view, to visualize the operating model. The following procedure provides instruction on how to quickly create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click to add a new view.
- Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.
- Click Show me the JSON code below this procedure, to expand the code.
- Click in the top-right of the expanded code, to copy the code.
The code is copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the code in diagram view text editor.
- Click Save.
- Edit the name and description of the diagram view, to suit your needs.

Overview and diagram view
The lineage harvester collects SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) metadata and sends it to the Collibra Data Lineage service. Collibra processes the metadata and creates new SSRS assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram or in a technical lineage.
- The assets have the same names as their counterparts in SSRS and Power BI Report Server (PBRS). Full names and Names cannot be changed in Data Catalog.
- Assets ingested from SSRS and PBRS are called SSRS assets in Data Catalog, except for PBRS reports which are called Power BI Report assets.
- Asset types are only created if you have all specific Data Catalog permissions.
- All SSRS and PBRS assets are created in the same domain.
- Relations that were manually created between SSRS assets or PBRS assets and other assets via a relation type in the SSRS and PBRS operating model, are deleted after synchronizing the metadata.
The following image shows the relations between SSRS asset types and the Power BI Report asset type.
Harvested metadata per asset type
This table shows the harvested SSRS and PBRS metadata for each SSRS asset type and Power BI Report asset type, assuming you have the necessary subscriptions and configurations for a full ingestion. This table also shows the resource ID for each asset type and metadata.

Example of ingested SSRS and PBRS metadata
The following image shows an example structure after SSRS and PBRS ingestion.
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:
Recommended hierarchy within a domain
You can enable hierarchies for the domain in which your SSRS assets were ingested. Doing so makes it easier to understand the relation between your SSRS assets, when viewing the assets on the domain page.
Follow these steps to enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
Steps
- Open the domain page of the relevant BI Catalog domain.
- On the content toolbar, click .
The Configure Hierarchy dialog box appears. - Select Enable Hierarchy.
- Select Multipath.
- Start typing and select each of the following relation types:
- Server hosts Business Dimension
- Business Dimension groups Report
- BI Folder contains Data Asset
- Data Asset is source for BI Report
- Report contains Report Attribute
- BI Folder contains Data Asset
- BI Data Model contains BI Data Attribute
- Data Entity contains Data Attribute
- Click Apply.
- In an asset view, if any asset is deleted, for example via synchronization or manual deletion, the view is recreated and the hierarchy is lost. In this case, you can again enable and configure the recommended hierarchy.
- When viewing the hierarchy for a community or domain, if the parent of a node that is in the community or domain belongs to a different community or domain, that node is not shown in the hierarchy.
Create an SSRS and PBRS operating model diagram view
You can create a diagram view for SSRS and PBRS to visualize the operating model. Complete the following steps to create a new diagram view by copying and pasting the JSON code in the diagram view text editor.
Steps
- Open an asset page.
- Click the
Diagram tab.
The diagram is shown in the default diagram view. - Click to add a new view.
- Click the Text tab, to switch to the diagram view text editor.
- Click Show me the JSON code below this procedure, to expand the code.
- Click in the top-right of the expanded code, to copy the code.
The code is copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the code in diagram view text editor.
- Click Save.
- Edit the name and description of the diagram view, to suit your needs.
