Change the default view of assets to show only data assets

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hello!

Today, when we enter the knowledge catalog and access an available catalog, the default view shows us all the catalog assets, such as "Data Contract", "Physical Restriction" and "Data". In the attached image "1" we see an example of this view.

This behavior is something that increases the difficulty for business users to use the catalog in their day-to-day work. Because most of the time they only want to explore the available data assets (Tables).

So, we would like to suggest that the default view of a catalog's assets only show the data assets. This change in the tool that would allow the default screen when opening a data catalog to be what is shown in the attached image "2".

I believe that this suggestion will be greatly beneficial in boosting the use of the catalog. Business users often do not have the expertise to use filters and may get confused with the usefulness of other data assets that they are not familiar with, so this cleaner view would benefit their experience.

    Hello Susanna!

    Thanks for the reply!

    Is there any forecast for when this functionality will be implemented?

    It would be a very useful tool within the IKC catalogs.

    Hi Wesley, sharing saved searches with other users is not supported yet. This is a roadmap item.

    Regards,

    Susanna

    Hi Susanna!

    Thank you for the answer.

    Can we share these saved searches with other users? This would be a very interesting resource

    Hi Wesley,

    We support saving default views by using saved searches. In this method, users can save their filter (by Asset Type = Data), and quickly retrieve only Data assets that way. The advantage is users can also include more filters, and save additional searches for customizability. See the "Save search" action and panel on the right hand side of the screen.

    Steps:

    1. Open the Filter panel on the left, and set "Data" under Asset types. Click Apply.

    2. Click on Save search to save the search filters.

    3. To run the saved search, click on the "disk" icon next to Save search, select the saved search to run it.


    Regards,

    Susanna Tai, Product Management
