About the browse card for Organization Profile page

Note

The browse card is available in private, single-tenant, and multi-tenant installations.

A browse card is a quick navigation card that you can add to your Organization Profile page to help navigate users to the important collections, metadata resources, datasets, and projects in the organization. You can also add links to external websites or other organizations in your application. The browse card is the same for all users of the organization. If the card has items that the user does not have access to, the user is taken to a Page not found error page.

The browse card appears in the Overview section of the Organization profile page. There can be only one browse card per organization and each organization has its own browse card, which is configured per organization.

Note

You have to be a member of the organization to be able to see the browse card for that organization.

Plan your browse card

  1. Resources in sections: Decide the resources you want to include in the browse card. These can be:

    • Collections, metadata resources, datasets, or projects in the organizations. You can also link to specific insights in projects.

    • External website links

    • Profile pages of other organizations in the application.

  2. Number of section: Decide the number of sections you want to add to add the browse card and how you want to organize the resources in these sections. A section can have a mix of organization profile pages, collections, projects, datasets, insights, or external links.

  3. Section Headers: Decide what the sections headers should be. Section headers can be static text, or the header can be a link to one of the resources mentioned above (organization profile pages, collections, projects, datasets, insights, or external links).

In this example, we have added 4 sections to the Organization profile page browse card.

  1. Two sections encompass important collections in the Support organization.

  2. Third section has links to key datasets, insights, and projects in the Support organization.

  3. Fourth section has a mix of 2 organization profile pages, key collections from those organizations.

  4. Fifth section has links to key external websites.

Configuring the browse card

You can either configure the browse card using the UI or manually using .ttl files or the Catalog Toolkit. If you have a simple browse card with links to internal and external sources, we recommend that you use the UI for configuring the browse card. However, if you are dynamically populating the browse card using automations, please use the file based (.ttl method) or the Catalog Toolkit. for configuring your browse card.

Important

Please be aware that when setting up the browse card using files, the Configuration UI for browse cards will display the browse card configured with files. Still, it is not recommended to edit the card from the UI. A best practice would be to choose one configuration method and use that.

  1. Configure the browse card using the UI.

  2. Configure the browse card manually:

    1. Create the configuration file for the browse card for organization profile page

    2. Add the configuration file to the application

    Note

    If your system is setup with Catalog Toolkit, follow these instructions to set up browse card using the Catalog Toolkit.
