Out-of-the-box complex relation types

Important 

Choose an option below to explore the documentation for the latest user interface (UI) or the classic UI.

You can find all complex relation types in the Complex relation types table in the Operating Model settings. The System Managed column in the Complex relation types table indicates whether a complex relation type is provided out of the box (OOTB) and managed by Collibra. All system-managed complex relation types are OOTB complex relation types. However, some OOTB complex relation types aren't system-managed. The following icons indicate the origin of a complex relation type:

  • Green check icon means that the complex relation type is OOTB.
  • Red close icon means that the complex relation type is either custom-created or an editable OOTB complex relation type.
Tip To find which asset types use a specific complex relation type, select the row containing the complex relation type, and then click Used In.
