   Area	Description
   ① Search area	Global search: Searches all assets by name, display name, or description. Additionally, you can search for business metrics by their associated technical metrics, and vice versa. You can also search tables by field name or description, and dashboards by chart name or description. Search within results: Narrows the current search results with an additional keyword. Search by name only: Searches all assets by name. Search by description only: Searches all assets by description.
   ② List filtering	All Assets: You can click All Assets to view all asset objects under this topic. The left pane lets you view tables by topic, showing all catalogs within that topic. You can switch topics at the top. When you select a catalog, the list on the right shows the assets in that catalog and its sub-catalogs. To the right of the topic, click Expand All or Collapse All to expand or collapse the topic's catalog tree. You can also click Collapse Navigation to hide the entire catalog tree. To show the tree again, click Expand Navigation in the upper-left corner. You can filter assets by system and custom attributes. Click More Filters and select the attributes to use as filters in the dialog box that appears. The supported filter conditions are Contains, Does not contain, Is empty, and Is not empty. Contains/Does not contain: You can select multiple attribute values. If the attribute's input method is custom, you can enter custom keywords. Is empty/Is not empty: No additional configuration is required. Note The "Is empty" and "Is not empty" conditions are unavailable for the "Asset Source" filter. Filter conditions are unavailable for the "Statistical Granularity" attribute. Custom attributes in the filters are attributes that are created in data warehouse modeling > attribute management and are visible in the asset catalog. Enabling too many filters can affect query performance. We recommend using 10 or fewer filters.
   ③ Asset list	The asset list summarizes each asset to help business users understand them. Click Settings, select the attributes to display in the dialog box, and then click OK. Note You can select up to 16 attributes. You can sort the selected attributes. The asset list displays the attributes in the order you set. The selectable attributes include all custom attributes and some system attributes configured to be visible in the asset catalog on the data warehouse modeling > attribute management page. Table assets This view displays the asset's name, asset type, tags, description, highest data classification level (requires the data security module), and information for the selected attributes.

Go to analyze: Once you have consumption permissions for a table asset, you can create notebook tasks for Dataphin tables of the MaxCompute, Hive, AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, Doris, or StarRocks type, and for tables from some data sources.

Only some data source tables support the creation of Quick BI analysis tasks. For more information, see Operations supported for different asset types.
