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.
After you have refined your search filter setting, you can Save the search filter settings for quick access at a later date through the Filters Page .
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.
Click on the ‘Edit Filters’ button
Select the additional filter you would like to add
Click ‘Close’ to return to the Search page
Using search in Filters
Sometimes you may want to search for a specific value in the filter.
Enter the value you want to search by to see what filter values match.
Currently only exact match is supported. You cannot use wildcard in the filter search. For example, in the below option
After selecting the ‘Full Name’ filter
Type in the custom filter value
Select Save
Sales is not an exact match and will return 0 results
