Disable automatic hyperlinking to a specific asset

Important 

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:

Automatic hyperlinking creates a hyperlink to an asset if its name is mentioned on another asset, for example, in a text attribute. You can disable automatic hyperlinking at the domain level and the asset level.

Contact Collibra Support if you want to enable or disable automatic hyperlinking for your entire environment.

An asset may have a common word as its name, for example, "is", "a", "or," or "and." When that happens, you do not want hyperlinks to this asset because it would lead to several useless hyperlinks.

You can still manually create hyperlinks that target the asset.

Steps

  1. Open an asset page.
  2. Click Actions → Auto hyperlinks.
    The Automatic Hyperlinks dialog box appears.
  3. Select the No Automatic HyperlinkPrevent Automatic Hyperlinks for assets in this domain checkbox.
  4. Click Save.

What's next?

All automatic hyperlinks to the asset are removed and Collibra no longer creates automatic hyperlinks to the asset. If you again enable automatic hyperlinking to the specific asset, rebuild the hyperlinks.
