Edit hyperlink settings

In Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, each asset is a potential target of an automatically created hyperlink. If a text attribute contains the name of another asset, it is automatically converted to a link to that asset.

Note The text editor on asset pages and domain pages includes an "Exclude from autohyperlinking" button, to disable autohyperlinking for text attributes.

   Setting	Description
   Enable hyperlinking	True: Hyperlinks are created automatically. False (default): Hyperlinks are not created automatically. For more information about automatic hyperlinks, see Hyperlinking. Warning If you enable this setting, the performance of Collibra can decrease.
   Enable case sensitivity	True: Hyperlinks are case-sensitive. False (default): Hyperlinks are not case-sensitive. Note If you edit this setting, you have to reindex Collibra.
   Excluded asset type IDs	The list of asset types that are ignored by automatic hyperlinking. You can use this setting to exclude particular asset types so that not all the assets are potential targets for automatic hyperlinking. Each time you enter an asset type ID in a field, a new field appears for you to add another ID. To exclude multiple asset types, use separate fields, instead of entering multiple IDs in a single field separated by commas. Excluding assets reduces the amount of hyperlinks, which improves performance. Tip We recommend that you exclude technical asset types such as Column, Field, Table, Code Value, and Code Set. Note If you edit this setting, you have to reindex Collibra.
