Filters

The Filters option in the Data Catalog allows you to narrow down search results and quickly locate relevant data assets.

This functionality enhances data discovery by allowing users to sort and refine large datasets in seconds and establish a connection with the metadata aspects of a specific data asset.

The Filters feature in the Data Catalog enables users to efficiently refine their search results by selecting from predefined metadata-based criteria such as data source, asset type, owner, classification, tags, and more. This targeted filtering helps users reduce noise, focus on the most relevant data assets, and streamline their data discovery process.

By supporting multi-dimensional filtering and combining multiple parameters, the Filters functionality ensures users can explore large and complex data environments with precision and clarity, saving time and enhancing productivity.
