You can use the record data values or the record metadata to define filters. Use record data filters to find records that share one or more data values in common. Use metadata filters to find records that share a common data quality issue or status.

For example, you might define a filter to retrieve every record that a user accepted as valid within a time period that you specify. The Analyst tool retrieves the records that meet the filter criteria. You can review each record and verify the decisions that the user made.

You can apply multiple filters on each tab. When you apply multiple filters, the Analyst tool returns the records that meet all of the filter criteria.
