Basic filters

This feature isn't available in the latest UI.

You can create basic filters by adding filter conditions. A filter condition is created by selecting a characteristic and assigning one or more values to it. In a basic filter, you can combine multiple conditions.

The characteristics are grouped in the following categories:

• Properties: All the asset properties in Collibra, for example, asset type, name, and tags.
• Attributes: All the asset attributes in Collibra, for example, definition, note, and quality.
• Relations: All the relations in Collibra.
• Roles: All the resource roles defined in Collibra, for example, Assignee, Business Steward, and Requester.

For information about how to add characteristics to a filter, go to Create a basic filter.

Filter behavior

• Multiple values for one characteristic are treated as an OR operator. The filter shown in the following image filters the assets if the asset type is Acronym or Business Term.
  
  
• All the simple conditions in a basic filter are treated as an AND operator.
• You can remove a filter characteristic by clicking next to the filter characteristic that you want to delete, or you can remove a single value from a filter characteristic by clicking next to its value.

Other filter aspects

• If you use filters in hierarchy views (not available in tile display mode), Collibra applies the filter only at the root (start) level of the hierarchy. Child rows are not filtered.
• In the Roles category of the filter characteristics, you can select one or more specific users or user groups, or current user to filter on the signed-in user. This has the advantage that it is not necessary to create a filter for every single user.
