Find items in the data items list

The data items list displays all the data items you have access to. To shorten the list, you can filter by keyword or data-item type using the filters at the top of the list. If you select the name of an item, you'll get to the item's details page. If you hover over an item, you'll see three dots that open the options menu when you select them.

The list has four tabs to narrow down the list of data items.

Tab Description
All data Data items that you're allowed to find.
My data Data items that you own.
Endorsed in your org Endorsed data items in your organization that you're allowed to find. Certified data items are listed first, followed by promoted data items. For more information about endorsement, see the Endorsement overview
Favorites Data items that you've marked as favorites.

The columns of the list are described below.

Column Description

Sensitivity Sensitivity, if set. Select the info icon to view the sensitivity label description.

Find items by workspace

Related data items are often grouped together in a workspace. To see the data items by workspace, expand the Explorer pane and select the workspace you're interested in. The data items you're allowed to see in that workspace will be displayed in the data items list.

Note

The Explorer pane may list workspaces that you don't have access to if the workspace contains items that you do have access to (through explicitly granted permissions, for example). If you select such a workspace, only the items you have access to will be displayed in the data items list.

Use the tiles across the top of the data hub to find and explore recommended data items. Recommended data items are data items that have been certified or promoted by someone in your organization or have recently been refreshed or accessed. Each tile contains information about the item and an options menu for doing things with the item. When you select a recommended tile, you are taken to the item's details page.

Display only data items belonging to a particular domain

If domains have been defined in your organization, you can use the domain selector to select a domain so that only data items belonging to that domain will be displayed. If an image has been associated with the domain, you’ll see that image on the data hub to remind you of the domain you're viewing.

For more information about domains, see the Domains overview

Open an item's options menu

Each item shown in the data hub has an options menu that enables you to do things, such as open the item's settings, manage item permissions, etc. The options available depend on the item and your permissions on the item.

To display the options menu, select More options (...) on one of the items shown in the data items list or a recommended item. In the data items list, you need to hover over the item to reveal More options.

The Explorer pane may list workspaces that you don't have access to if the workspace contains items that you do have access to (through explicitly granted permissions, for example). If you select such a workspace, only the items you have access to will be displayed in the data items list.
