Using Filters to Find a Data Inventory Record

Overview

The filter function in Data Inventory lets you quickly locate specific records by narrowing results by record type, category, and individual filter criteria. Filters are also scoped to the tab you are currently viewing — when on a specific record tab, you see filters relevant to that record type alongside any additional filters.

This article explains how to apply filters to find data inventory records and how to manage saved filters.

When you are on a specific record tab, the filter panel shows filters relevant to that record type along with any additional filters. For example, when on the Third Party Records tab, the filter panel shows third-party filters alongside the other available filters.
