Filtering and searching data sets and projects

You can view the full lists of data sets and projects on the Catalog. You can also use the Refine By panel to filter the lists, or use the search field to search for a project or data set.

Displaying the full list of projects or data sets

From the Catalog, to display the full list of projects or data sets, click the View all link on the Projects or Data Sets tab, or the View more link for the project or data set groups.

Filtering the Catalog lists

The Refine By panel provides options for filtering the Catalog lists.

For projects, many of the refinement options apply to included data sets. For example, when you refine the Catalog to only show items with geocode attributes, projects are included in the results if a project data set includes a geocode attribute.

The available refinements for the Catalog are grouped into the following categories:

Refine By Category Description
Projects Filter based on project details including the name, searchable tags, the creator, and the creation or modification dates.
Data Sets Filter based on data set details or contents. In addition to the name, tags, creator, and creation/modification dates you can also filter by the number of records or attributes or by specific datetime or geocode information.
Attributes Filter based on attributes within a data set. These include raw attribute names, standardized names, attribute tags, and semantic types.
Data Sources Filter based on the types of source systems used to provide data. For example, you can limit results to data from Hadoop, or data uploaded from delimited files.

For details on using refinements for filtering, see Filtering Based on Refinements.

Searching the Catalog

You can use the search field to search for Catalog items. See Searching in Studio.

Sorting data sets or projects

If you have searched or filtered on the Catalog or clicked the View All / View More links, a SORT dropdown is present to the far right of the Projects and Data Sets tabs.

To sort the results, select the value to use for the sort:
  • Name - The project or data set name
  • Created Date/ Recently Added - The project or data set creation date
  • Most Popular - The number of unique visitors to a project or data set

To switch between ascending and descending order, click the sort order icon.
