Using the Workspace filters

Data Insight provides extensive filters to sort through the data on the list view pages. You can use the filters to limit the scope of the data that is displayed on the list views of the Workspace tab. When filters are applied, the list views display the data that satisfies the selected filter criteria.

To use the filters

  1. Navigate to the list view of the tile for which you want to view analytics data.
  2. On the list view, click on the filter icon.

    The filter panel expands to show the available filters.

    To display only the frequently-used filters, click the Filter drop-down, and select the filters that you want to display.

  3. Click on any option and enter or select the values for the filter criteria.

    For example, you want to review all the open shares in your storage environment that have a risk score between 80 to 100. Navigate to the Shares list view and expand the filter panel. Select the Open check box; click Risk, and slide the score slider to select the range of the risk score.

    If a filter has many possible values, you can enter specific value in the search bar for that filter. For example, if there are multiple DLP policies that are configured, you can enter that name of the DLP policy that you are interested in the DLP Policy filter.

    Note:

    If you select more than one filter criteria, the conditions are evaluated using a logical AND operator. However, if you select multiple values for a single filter criteria, Data Insight evaluates the values using the logical OR operator.

  4. Click Apply.
  5. Click Reset to clear the filters.

Note that different filters are available for the Data Sources, Shares, DFS, Users, Groups, Watchlist, and Alerts list views.

Note:

An orange Filter icon indicates that a filter is applied to the displayed data set.
