Explore page

Use the
Explore
 page to work with your
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 projects, folders, and assets.

Finding projects and assets on the Explore page

Use any of the following methods to find your projects and assets on the
Explore
 page:
  • Explore by projects and folders. View all projects or select a particular project.
  • Explore by asset types. View all assets or view assets of a particular type.
  • Explore by tags. View assets associated with a particular tag.
  • Search for projects, folders, or assets. To search for projects, folders, and assets in the organization, view the
    Explore
     page by
    All Projects
    , and then enter a name or description in the Find box. Or, view the
    Explore
     page by
    Asset Types
     and to narrow your search, select an asset type from the
    All Assets
     list. Then, in the Find box, enter a name or description in full or part.
  • Sort the search results. Sort the
    Explore
     page by name, asset type, last update date, create date, or description. When you sort by type, the
    Explore
     page groups assets by asset type. It does not list the asset types in alphabetical order.
  • Filter the objects on the page. To filter objects, click the
    Filter
     icon. To apply a filter, click
    Add Filter
    , select the property to filter by, and then enter the property value. The filters that are available depend on how you view the page. You can specify multiple filters.
    For example, to find all the assets in your organization with the tag SW Region, view the
    Explore
     page by
    All Assets
     and then click the
    Filter
     icon. Add the
    Tags
     filter and enter "SW Region."
    If the result size is large, for example, over 1000 objects, all the objects appear on the
    Explore
     page but the total number of objects that displays at the top and bottom of the page can be approximate for a minute or so.
    Filtering is available on other pages in addition to the
    Explore
     page.
    For example, on the
    Import Assets
     page, you can filter by status to find the assets that imported successfully.
    The All Assets view displays on the Explore page. The page is filtered to display assets that have the "east" tag.
You can see projects, folders, and assets for all of the services that you use.
If you select an asset to open it or perform an action, and the asset is created in a different service than the one you have open, the service opens in a new browser tab.
You can't use the following characters: 
# ? ' | { } " ^ & [ ] / \

Working with projects and assets on the Explore page

Perform actions on projects, folders, and assets on the
Explore
 page. To see what actions you can perform on an object, in the row that contains the object, click the
Actions
 icon, as shown in the following image:
An asset is highlighted on the Explore page and the Actions menu for the asset displays a list of some of the options such as Properties, View, Edit, and Run.
The Actions menu lists the actions you can perform based on your user role privileges and the permissions specified for the selected object. For example, your user role might have privileges to view and run tasks but not to delete tasks. You might not have permission to run a particular task because of the permissions set by the creator of the task.
You can also perform an action on multiple objects at one time. Select the check box to the left of each object, or select the Select All check box to select all of the objects that are displayed on the current page. The following image shows the Select All check box in use:
The Select All check box is to the left of the Name column label on the Explore page. All of the assets on the page are selected.
After you select the objects, click
Actions
 in the row of any of the selected objects.
The Actions menu will list the actions available for the selected assets based on your user role and privileges.
Alternatively, you can use the Selection menu to choose the action, as shown in the following image:
The selection menu link displays the number of objects selected and the selection menu lists the options you can perform on the selected objects such as Copy To, Move To, and Tags.

Customizing the Explore page

You can display, hide, or rearrange columns on the
Explore
 page. To display or hide columns, right-click the column heading area and select or clear the column headings in the list. The headings in the list depend on whether projects, assets, or tags are in view on the
Explore
 page.
In the following example, the
Updated By
,
Created On
, and
Created By
 columns will be hidden when
All Projects
 is selected:
The properties menu shows a list of object properties to display on the Explore page. Properties currently displayed on the Explore page have a check mark to the left of the property name. In this image Type and Updated On are checked so they appear on the Explore page. You can use the scroll bar to see the other columns that are selected.
To rearrange columns, click a column heading and drag it to a different location.
