Description
①Search area
Global Search: Performs a fuzzy search for all assets based on keywords in the asset name, display name, or description.
Specifically, business metrics can be searched by associated technical metrics. Technical metrics can be searched by associated business metrics. Data tables can be searched by field names or descriptions. Dashboards can be searched by chart names or descriptions.
Search Within Results: Adds additional search keywords to search within the search results.
Search By Name Only: Supports fuzzy search for assets based on keywords in the asset name.
Search By Description Only: Supports fuzzy search for assets based on keywords in the asset description.
Intelligent search: You must purchase the X-Asset Q&A and Asset Operation features to use intelligent search. This feature supports searching for assets using natural language. In the Intelligent Discovery area, the model finds assets that the current user has permission to view based on your input. It returns up to 10 assets that are most relevant to your search terms. You can perform the following operations for an intelligent search:
Stop: Click to stop the query.
Retry: Click to search again based on the last input.
View/Hide Thinking Process: If the model configured for the X-Asset Q&A intelligent application supports a thinking pattern, the model's inference process is displayed here. Click to expand or collapse the content.
Close: Click to close the intelligent discovery area.
②List filtering
All assets: You can click All Assets to view all asset objects under the topic.
The left side supports viewing data tables from a topic perspective, displaying all directories under the topic. You can switch topics at the top. After selecting a directory at a certain level, the list on the right automatically displays the asset objects belonging to the current directory and its subdirectories.
You can click Expand All or Collapse All on the right side of the topic to expand or collapse the topic directory tree. You can also click Collapse Navigation to collapse the entire directory tree. To display the directory tree, you can click Expand Navigation in the upper left corner.
Supports filtering target assets based on some system properties and all custom properties. You can click More Filters and select the properties to be used as filter items in the dialog box.
Filter items support the following filter conditions: contains, does not contain, is empty, and is not empty.
Contains/Does Not Contain: Select multiple property values. If the property value is entered manually, you can enter custom keywords.
Is Empty/Is Not Empty: No additional configuration is required.
NoteWhen the asset source property is used as a filter item, the is empty/is not empty conditions are not supported.
When the statistic granularity property is used as a filter item, filter conditions are not supported.
The custom properties in the filter items are properties created in Data Warehouse Plan > Attribute Management that are visible in the asset catalog.
Enabling too many filter items may affect query efficiency. It is recommended to configure no more than 10 filter items.
③Asset list
