Most teams in dScribe run the same searches over and over — "all reports owned by my team," "validated definitions in the Finance domain," "datasets created in the last month." Rather than rebuilding those queries every time, you can save them as views.
A view captures the exact way you've set up the search page — filters, columns, sorting — so you can return to it in one click. You can also share them with the rest of your organization.
Saved views appear as tabs at the top of the Search page. To browse every view you have access to (or to create a new one), click the + button in the tab bar:
What a view includes
When you save a view, dScribe stores the complete state of the search page:
The filter bar configuration — which of the default filters are shown above the result table.
Pre-activated filters — the actual filter values that are applied (for example, Domain = Finance or Validation status = Validated).
The columns displayed in the result table — which properties are visible and in what order.
Sorting — how search results should be sorted
Open the view later and you land on the exact same setup, automatically including the latest catalog content.
Creating a view
Go to the Search page.
Set up the search exactly as you want it — apply filters, adjust columns, choose a sort order.
Click Save view in the tab bar. Update the existing view or save as a new view.
Naming tip: If the view will be shared, write the name so it's immediately clear for others what's inside.
Private vs Public views
Every view is either Private or Public.
Private views are visible only to the person who created them. Useful for your own working setups — for example "assets I follow" or "assets I own".
Public views are visible to everyone in your organization. Use these for shared overviews that benefit a whole team or the whole company — "Finance reports," "Validated definitions," "Recently created assets."
Good to know: A public view doesn't grant view permissions on included assets. Users still only see assets they have access to via the relevant Discovery Policies. Two people opening the same public view may see slightly different result sets if their access differs.
