  • The results that match your search.

This section, which contains the following tabs, is shown only if you have the Data Marketplace global permission. Otherwise, all results are shown.

The section also contains preconfigured search tabs for quick filters for Data Marketplace. Quick filters allow you to automatically apply a set of filters to the search results in a single action.

The common category options available are assets, users, domains, communities, and user groups.
