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 technical lineage viewer shows the technical lineage and allows you to edit the view. You can access the technical lineage viewer via the Technical lineage tab on Column and Table asset pages and BI assets of the same level.
The technical lineage viewer shows the technical lineage and allows you to edit the view. You can access the technical lineage viewer by clicking Technical Lineage in the tab bar on Column and Table asset pages and BI assets of the same level. The technical lineage graph opens in a new page when you click Technical Lineage.
Technical lineage tab
You can only see the Technical lineage tab on a Column or Table asset page when you have the following prerequisites:
- You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example, Catalog Author.
- You have a global role with the Technical lineageglobal permission.
Note View permissions are not enforced in Collibra Data Lineage. This means that anyone with the Technical Lineage global permission can see all of the assets in a technical lineage graph, regardless of their view permissions as determined at the community or domain level.
Technical lineage viewer
The technical lineage viewer shows the technical lineage graph and the breadcrumbs of the assets that data objects from your data sources are stitched to.

If you select a specific column in a table with multiple columns, you can click Collapsed columns [menu] to show all other columns, collapse all columns or only show selected columns in the same table.
Tip Data objects that are stitched to assets in Data Catalog have a yellow background. Other data objects that the Collibra Data Lineage collected from your data source, but are not stitched and therefore are not assets in Data Catalog, have a gray background. |
