Propose New Data Asset Design and Implementation

[bok-callout]For a walk-through the steps of the workflow and its configuration, we refer to Propose New Data Asset Walk-Through [/bok-callout]

Diagram

Step 1: Create a new Activiti project and/or Activiti diagram

The creation of a new Activiti project/diagram is explained in the section on Setting Up Your Workflow Design Workbench.

Step 2: Change the Identifier, Name and Description of the Process

We refer to the section Designing Your First Workflow From Scratch, subsection “Change the Identifier, Name and Description of the Process” for an explanation on how  to change the identifier, name and description. For this case, name the workflow (e.g., the default would be “Propose New Data Asset”) and give it an identifier (e.g., the default name would be “intakeDataAsset”). 

Step 3: Create a Pool and Lanes

We refer to the section Designing Your First Workflow From Scratch, subsection “Defining a Pool and Lanes” for an explanation on how  to change the identifier, name and description.

Pool >  Properties Tab > Process 

Property Value Description
id intakeDataAsset The Id of the workflow definition. This must be unique in Collibra
Name Propose New Data Asset The default workflow label (description) in Collibra.
Namespace http://www.activiti.org/test  
Documentation

This process can be used to propose new data assets. The term will be created using the entered characteristics and placed in the “Data Governance Council” community.

 This information is shown to the user when hovering over a workflow start button.

Step 4: Create a Start and End Event

Set the properties for the Start Event:

Start Event > Properties Tab > Form

Step 5: Create Term

 

Set the properties:

Service Task > Properties Tab > Main config

Property Value Description
Type Java Class Setting for delegate
Service Class com.collibra.dgc.core.workflow.activiti.delegate.TermIntakeDelegate

JavaDelegate for taking in new terms in our application

Fields:

signifier   ${signifier} the signifier of the term to create.
conceptType   ${conceptType} the id of the ConceptType.
vocabulary   ${intakeVocabulary} the id of the Vocabulary.
definition   ${definition} the contents of the definition attribute to be created
description   ${description} the contents of the description attribute to be created
