Discover

On the Resources and Organizations and people tabs the resources that are owned by you are shown on top followed by other resources you have access to. Use Filters to narrow down your lists - the best place to start is with the Resource Type and Owner filters to narrow down the list of available resources.

The All tab is a special tab where you can quickly navigate to the last 25 resources you viewed recently. Users in an environment with a Browse Card will also see their quick links on the All tab, for a familiar entry point to the enterprise resources.

You can always use the Search bar on top of the Discover page to find what you are looking for. For details about using search and advanced filters, see How to find data resources

Note

Note that once you run a search, the All tab adapts to show a special view of the search results. Once you clear the search term from the search box, the tab switches back to the Discover mode.
