About out-of-the-box facets

By default, Data Marketplace offers multiple filter facets, which can be used when defining Data Marketplace categories and are visible in the Filter Facets pane on the Data Marketplace search page.

Note Some of these filter facets rely on relation path indexing.

Filter facet name	Description	Uses relations
Business Asset	Business Asset refers to the business assets that are related to the data, such as `Customer Phone Number` or `Customer Order Number`. For information on the differences between business terms, data domains, and data concepts, go to Conceptual layer versus the Business Glossary.	Yes
Certified	This filter facet limits your search results to data that has been certified, meaning approved, endorsed, or guaranteed.	No
Data Domain	Data Domain refers to a high-level conceptual category to which the data belongs, such as `Customer` or `Order`.
