History page

Important 

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 History page provides an overview of the history of a user or a resource and its children. For examples, it contains all actions related to the following:

  • Creating, editing and deleting resources.
    Note 

    In some cases, an edit is logged as a delete and a create. For example, if you edit a Description attribute of a Data Usage complex relation, the original Description attribute is deleted, and a new Description attribute is created with the new content.

  • Moving assets to a different domain.
  • Adding, editing and removing characteristics.
  • Changes to the asset status.
  • Social features such as comments, tags and ratings.
  • Uploading and deleting attachments.
  • Workflows and the resulting changes.
  • Creating, editing and deleting responsibilities.
    Note 

    The history doesn't show changes to:

    • inherited responsibilities.
    • view permissions.
  • In the case of the user history, adding and removing the user to or from user groups.

Tip Some actions don't change the last modification date of an asset. Check out the actions that do and don't change the last modification date.
