Hyperlinking configuration

Every asset is a potential target of an automatically created hyperlink. If a text attribute of an asset contains the name of another asset, the name is automatically converted to a link to that asset.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open the DGC service settings for editing:
    1. Open Collibra Console.
      Collibra Console opens with the Infrastructure page.
    2. In the tab pane, expand an environment to show its services.
    3. In the tab pane, click the Data Governance Center service of that environment.
    4. Click Configuration.
    5. Click Edit configuration.
  2. In the Hyperlinking configuration section, modify the information as needed.
    SettingDescription
    Enable hyperlinking

    True: Hyperlinks are created automatically.

    False (default): Hyperlinks aren't created automatically.

    For more information about automatic hyperlinks, go to Automatic hyperlinking.

    Warning Enabling this setting affects CPSH's performance.
    Enable case sensitivity

    True: Hyperlinks are case-sensitive.

    False (default): Hyperlinks aren't case-sensitive.

    Note If you edit this setting, you need to reindex CPSH.

    Excluded asset type IDs

    List of asset types that is ignored by automatic hyperlinking. You can use this setting to exclude particular asset types so that not all the assets become potential targets for automatic hyperlinking.

    Tip 
    • Each time you enter an asset type ID in this field, another 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.
    • We recommend excluding technical asset types such as Column, Field, Table, Code Value, and Code Set.

    Note If you edit this setting, you need to reindex CPSH.

  3. Click Save all.
  4. Reindex Collibra Platform Self-Hosted.
