Enable automatic hyperlinking in a domain

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. This is especially useful for linking to Business Term assets. However, as every asset is a possible target, automatic hyperlinking can lead to an excessive amount of hyperlinks, which can negatively affect performance. Therefore, automatic hyperlinking is disabled by default for all domains. If you want to use this feature, you can enable automatic hyperlinking at the domain level.

Before you begin

Ensure that the automatic hyperlinking setting is enabled. Contact Collibra Support if it is not enabled.

Steps

  1. Go to the domain page of the domain for which you want to enable automatic hyperlinking.
  2. Click Actions → Auto hyperlinks.
    The Auto hyperlinks dialog box appears.
  3. Clear the No Automatic HyperlinkPrevent Automatic Hyperlinks for assets in this domain checkbox.
    The dialog box closes.

What's next?

Rebuild the hyperlinks to automatically create hyperlinks to all the assets in the domain.
