Filtering and sorting displayed attributes in Explore or Transform

You can filter and sort displayed attributes in the Explore and Transform views to more easily navigate a data set. If you are within a project data set, these preferences apply for all project users.

1. To mark an attribute as a favorite, click the star icon on the attribute tile in Explore or select Add to favorites from the attribute details in Transform.
2. To mark an attribute as hidden, click the eye icon on the attribute tile in Explore or select Hide from the attribute details in Transform.
3. To filter, click the Filter Attributes drop-down on the left side above the displayed attribute tiles (Explore) or table (Transform).
   The filtering submenu appears.
4. Apply filters by selecting the corresponding checkbox(es) from each submenu.
   You can also click the Search icon next to the drop-down to see matching available filters sorted by type. For example, entering "st" as a query may suggest Data Type > string and Notes > this is a test.

   • For Attribute name, Tags, and Notes filters, you can enter a search query to filter the list of options to a manageable size.
   • Selecting the Hidden filter temporarily disables all other filters. Removing it re-enables the other selections.
   • Selecting the Favorites filter removes the Hidden filter.
   Applied filters display alongside the drop-down, and the attribute tiles or table are reduced to the subset of attributes that match all filters.
5. To remove filters, either click the X icon next to a filter or click Clear all to remove all filters.
6. To sort attributes, click the Sort drop-down and select a sort type:
   • Name - sort by name
   • Null percentage - sort by the percentage of null values for each attribute
   • Information potential - sort by an information potential algorithm that considers factors such as distribution of attribute values across records. This is the default.
   • Relationship to an attribute - sort by correlation with another attribute.

     For example, a list of wine attributes sorted by relation to "body" may show that "region" is strongly related.

   In Explore, you can also sort by relationship to an attribute by clicking the arrow icon for that attribute tile.
