How to Create an Instance in a Collection

Once you create a Collection, you create instances to fill out the collection. You can then link those instances to Data Items manually or via rules.

Instances are items that make up a collection. They can be Terms in a Glossary Collection, Critical Data Elements in a Governance Collection, or Source Systems in a Data Management Collection.

In the above example, Instance 1 is Columns and the two data items linked to it are Customer Name and Interest Rate
