Collibra reporting & dashboards – looking for inspiration
Summary: Hajar MARGAD is working on setting up reporting for Collibra and data governance, focusing on operational, adoption, and global-level KPIs. They intend to use Collibra Insights as the main data source, with Qlik Sense for dashboards, and seek feedback and inspiration on effective KPIs and reporting strategies, including interest in APIs and scripting for customized datasets. Nuriia Rose and Umer Khalid engage with Hajar MARGAD, expressing their plans to use Collibra Insights in 2026 and commending their structured approach, respectively. They discuss setting up Insights and the value of exploring templates for adaptation.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on setting up reporting around Collibra and data governance, and I’m in the process of defining the right approach and KPIs before moving further.
The goal is to cover a few different needs:
Operational reporting for Data Stewards: missing documentation, missing owners, mandatory attributes not filled, potential duplicates, assets that haven’t been enriched, etc.
Adoption & usage reporting: how Collibra is actually used (active users, contributions over time, enrichment activity).
Global / admin-level reporting: high-level KPIs for Data Office or management (number of documented objects by type, completeness by domain/community, overall coverage, trends).
We plan to rely on Collibra Insights as the main data source for reporting, but dashboards should be built in Qlik Sense.
I’ve reviewed the Collibra documentation and Marketplace content, including the Data Maturity report, which looks interesting from a KPI perspective, but given our tooling I’m not sure how far those templates can realistically be reused.
At this stage, I’m mainly looking for feedback and inspiration from real use cases:
Which KPIs have actually been useful in your organization?
Do you usually separate dashboards for stewards vs management?
Has anyone built reporting based on Insights outside Tableau (QlikSense or other BI tools)?
If anyone has experience using Collibra APIs and scripting to build a reporting dataset, I’d also be very interested in hearing about that approach, as we are currently evaluating both options (Insights vs API-based reporting) and haven’t fully rolled out the Insights module yet.
And if anyone is open to sharing templates, screenshots, KPI lists, or example dashboards (even anonymized or partial), I’d happily take any inspiration 😊
Thanks a lot in advance!

·4 months agoHi @Hajar MARGAD , we also are just getting started using Collibra Insights for the first time. We will need to build our own dashboard in Power BI though. I was hoping there would be others out here that have already done so.

·6 months ago · EditedHajar, it sounds like you’re taking a very structured approach to Collibra reporting and data governance. Focusing on operational, adoption, and global reporting while defining KPIs upfront is smart, and leveraging Collibra Insights as your primary data source with Qlik Sense dashboards will give you flexibility to tailor visualizations by user type. Exploring API-based reporting and scripts alongside Insights can help you create more customized datasets, and reviewing existing templates is a good way to gain inspiration while adapting them to your specific needs.

·7 months agoHi @Hajar MARGAD , we will start using Collibra Insights in 2026 for the first time. We are going to set Insights using the Coaching hours.
Can you please share your experience about setting up Insights?
