Workflows

Collibra workflows let you model your processes and manage their implementation in the Collibra Platform by combining the BPMN standard with embedded Groovy scripts and granular scope and permissions.

Where do you want to go?

Workflow Designer

Model approval flows, governance routines, and notifications as BPMN processes, then attach Groovy scripts and delegates.

Managing workflows

Publish, configure, and govern workflows in Collibra, from permissions to day-to-day operation.

Script tasks

Use Groovy script tasks and the Collibra Java API to read and write data from inside a workflow.

Tutorials

Follow worked examples, from a first dynamic-form workflow to notifications and asset operations.

The Collibra Java API

Workflow script tasks call the Collibra Java API. The interfaces such as assetApi and attributeApi are already instantiated and available to your Groovy scripts. Our tutorials show how to use builders and common operations.

The Java API reference lives in your environment

The full Java API reference (Javadoc) is not published here. It is generated per release and served from each Collibra environment, so the version you see always matches your platform. Open it from your environment:

You can also reach it in the product, under the help menu, by selecting API documentation and then the Java Core API.
