Global Create button

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra 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 global Create button refers to the Plus icon icon on the main toolbar. It allows you to create any resource from any location, if you have the right permissions.

When you click Plus icon, the Create dialog box appears with the following tabs.

Tab Description
Suggested

A list of asset types or actions relevant to your current location in Collibra.

Tip 
  • If you are in a specific product, for example, Business Glossary or Catalog, the Suggested tab shows the asset types or actions relevant to that product.
  • If you are on an asset page—depending on the asset type—the tab shows the asset type of the current asset or actions relevant to the asset type.
  • If you are on a domain page, the tab shows all the asset types assigned to the current domain.
  • If you are on a community page, the tab shows all the asset types assigned to the domains in the current community.
  • The Suggested tab doesn't appear when you click Plus icon from a dashboard or homepage.
Recent A list of up to 10 asset types of the assets created most recently within the last month, with the most recent ones shown first.
Actions A list of global workflows. The Actions tab shows only those workflows in which the Show in global create option is enabled.
Assets

A list of all asset types, divided into sections based on parent asset types, for example, Business Asset and Data Asset. Selecting an asset type allows you to create assets.

 

Organization

A list of all organizational resources, divided into sections based on parent domain types, for example, Business Asset Domain and Data Asset Domain. The list also includes the Community section. Selecting a community or a domain type allows you to create communities and domains.

Tip 
  • You can use the search box in the dialog box to quickly find something. The results are based on the tab you clicked in the Create dialog box.
  • You can create assets of a specific type in a specific domain only if that asset type has been assigned to that domain. If you try to create an asset of a type that isn't assigned to the current domain, the Domain field in the Create dialog box isn't automatically filled.
