About homepage

The Collibra homepage is the default page that is shown when you sign in to Collibra Platform or when you click the application logo on any page in Collibra.

Collibra offers a few homepage options. Administrators can set which homepage users see by default or assign custom landing pages in Settings.

This topic will explore the default homepages.

Note If no homepage option is selected, the last dashboard you visited is shown.

The homepage guides you within Collibra by showing information that is relevant to you, such as your dashboards, the most visited assets, and the recommended assets. The homepage also allows you to search for a resource.

You can open all your dashboards via the Dashboards card on the homepage or via the Dashboards tab in the browse pane.

Homepage overview

If you are an administrator, you can customize the homepage by defining the headings and the content shown in each section of the homepage, and thus create a homepage that can meet user needs.

The following table describes the sections shown on the homepage.

Image of the Homepage

No. Description
Number 1 Shows a greeting.
Number 2 Enables you to perform a search, directing you to the search page.
Number 3

Helps you to find content and perform your daily tasks. Depending on how the homepage is edited, this section shows any 3 of the following cards:

  • Dashboards: A list of dashboards you can open, shown in alphabetical order. You can also create a dashboard using +.
  • Most Visited Assets: A list of assets everyone visited the most in the last 30 days.
  • Your Quick Links: A list of links to the pages you can quickly open. You can add, edit, rearrange, and delete quick links.
  • Your Tasks: A list of tasks assigned to you.
  • Recommended Assets: A list of assets you might like based on your search history and the assets you previously visited.
Note 
  • The Most Visited Assets and Recommended Assets cards aren't supported in Collibra Platform for Government and Collibra Platform Self-Hosted (CPSH) environments.
  • Data on the Most Visited Assets and Recommended Assets cards is available only if the Collect Application Usage Data setting in Collibra Console is enabled. To change this setting, you need to create a support ticket.

Formatted homepage (in preview)

The Formatted homepage (in preview) is a fully customizable homepage built using the Page Editor. Administrators can use sections and widgets in the Page Editor to configure the page with their organization's branding, links to internal resources, and Collibra metrics.

The following table describes the sections shown on the Formatted homepage.

The following image shows the Formatted homepage setup, in the editing state:
