Search Filter Tips

K offers a powerful google like search function that lets you quickly locate your data items.

Sometimes, the search return may return long list of data items. Filters are a great way to narrow your search results.

Default filters

When you use the search function, a number of default filters will always be displayed.

For each of these filters, you can select any number of filters. You can also toggle the behaviour of the filter to either ‘Include’ or ‘Exclude’ the chosen values.

Adding additional filters

There are a number of additional filter options available that you can customise per search. For example, you may want to include Collection filters to help you quickly locate and export all data assets that are part of a collection.

1. Click on the ‘Edit Filters’ button

2. Select the additional filter you would like to add

3. Click ‘Close’ to return to the Search page

Customising filter returns

Sometimes you may want to filter using a unique value that is not part of the list of filter values displayed.

This is particularly helpful for filters when you’re searching within a filter that has a large number of options.

For example, in the below option

• After selecting the ‘Full Name’ filter

• Type if the custom filter value

• Select Save
