Opportunity to participate in Asset Page UX Research
Collibra’s Product Design and UX Research teams are looking for people to participate in an upcoming research study about asset page UX.

For this study, we are looking to connect with non-Admin users. If that’s not you, we’d be very grateful if you could help us connect with some of your colleagues.

Specifically, we are looking to speak to people who regularly:

Author asset pages (edit content in existing asset page fields only; no Admin responsibilities such as asset type page layout)

Search for and view asset pages (data consumer only; no asset admin or attribute editing as described above)

Here’s what participation would entail:

A 60-minute Zoom session the weeks of March 24-28 or April 7-11

During the session, we’ll discuss participants’ work, review current asset pages, and get feedback on updated asset page preliminary concepts

The session will be recorded for internal use only

Those interested can contact me at [email protected]. Thank you for your support as we work to improve asset pages!

Enterprise CDEs - Modelling within Collibra DIP Asset Model
Question for the Community .....

Enterprise CDEs. Plenty of options

hold them as Data Assets, as assets of the type Data Element.

or a Business Asset, as assets of the type Business Term. And if as a BT then how to delineate; Status, Attribute, Tag, R/ship?

or a site-specific child of Business Term, called CDE

What's your take? Have you seen a standard pattern for modelling Enterprise CDEs in Collibra?

ChatGPT tells me ... that an Enterprise CDE is more likely to be a Business Asset ...

A Critical Data Element (CDE) can be viewed as both a business asset and a data asset, depending on the perspective and the context in which it is used. Here's how:

Business Asset Perspective:

A CDE is typically identified based on its criticality to the organization's business processes, decision-making, regulatory compliance, or strategic goals.

It is tied to business outcomes and represents data elements that are crucial for achieving business objectives (e.g., key performance indicators, metrics for compliance reporting).

Business stakeholders often define what constitutes a CDE, emphasizing its value and alignment with business priorities.

Data Asset Perspective:

A CDE is a specific data element within a system, database, or dataset that has been flagged as critical.

It is managed with heightened governance, quality standards, and controls to ensure accuracy, reliability, and availability.

From a technical perspective, it is part of the organization's broader data ecosystem and is treated as a data asset subject to stewardship, cataloging, and monitoring.

In Summary:

Business Lens: A CDE is seen as a business asset because it directly supports business-critical activities.

Data Lens: A CDE is a data asset because it is a tangible piece of data managed within the data governance framework.

In a governed data strategy, these perspectives are interconnected. CDEs act as a bridge between business needs and technical data management practices.

How do you manage Power BI Description and Owner in Source
Hello. We've just added our Power BI Catalog and is starting to curate the asset page summary. I have 2 questions:

1. How do you manage the Description in Collibra? We noticed that the Report and Semantic Model Description box in the PowerBI settings has character limit (~150 characters including spaces). We initially wanted to include more information in Collibra, more verbose description and usage guide. However, this gets updated every after sync and revert to the short Description from the source.

2. My second question is where does Collibra get the "Owner in Source" metadata in PowerBI?

Thanks!

Reflecting Asset changes in the Collibra Logs
We need to see Assets history in the Collibra Logs in the Console.
Is there a possibility to show all the changes happening with the Assets in Collibra Logs?

How to add multiple assets to a collection or data set at once (preferably from a domain's asset view)?
When you view a domain's assets via the view, you have the option of selecting any number of assets with checkboxes. Once your selection is checked, you see the options for Delete, Move, Validate, etc. There are no options to add to a data set or collection. The only alternative I have seen is to add a table to a data set, which will add the columns. Are there any options to add assets in bulk?

Custom relation between data attribute and Table
Hello,
One of our business team is requesting to create a custom relation between Logical data asset: 'Data attribute' and Physical data asset: 'Table'.

What are the pros and cons of creating the requested relation? Generally, Collibra recommends having a relation between Data attribute and Column only.

The use-case is that the Data entity and its attributes can represents many tables and columns.

Our Business Steward would want an easy means to display the relation between Data attribute and Table, Column in a hierarchical view of the data asset domain. Our operating model has already a relation between the Data attribute & Column.

Regards,

Kiranmai Nukala.

Validation Results Order
How do I control the order in which the validation results are shown? They do not appear in the same order as the validation checks, but I want them to be in that order.

Thanks!

Trust & Articulation Score
Collibra delivered this a few years ago >> Packaged Solution for Trusted Business Reporting - Collibra Marketplace

.... but does anyone know if anything more is happening with this, especially in the context of the new and exciting UI? I'm thinking an enhanced Articulation Score ... but keen to hear what's cooking ;-)

Image in tile view
Hi community,

Collibra is offering the attribute “Report Image” out of the box which gives the opportunity to show an image in the tile view. Other images in descriptions, etc. are just shown as tiny icons. My users would like report-like images for other asset types. Is it possible to create other attributes with the same behaviour?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Diagram | you don't have the permission to save the view
Hi all, I want to create a new traceability diagram, but as I klick on “edit” button and to the first edit the “save” button remains grayed out with “you don’t have the permission to save the view”.

What do I need to change, to be able to edit and save traceability diagram?
