This article provides users with a general guide to the features listed.

These features may have been updated or superseded by additions found in the release notes.

Read the content below to become familiar with the feature and review the release notes to get the latest iteration.

Overview

Navigator lists accessible datasets for the current project as well as respective objects (tables, views, models, routines) and their schemas(fields).

It also allows to filter datasets by name and labels; group and sort tables.

Hovering over Dataset or Table shows respective Info PopUp.

Right click on Billing/Data Project Title or Dataset /Table/View/Model/Routine shows Contextual Menu with all available actions for that Object or alternatively left click on more options icon.

See quick details below

Billing Project

The navigation header displays the currently selected billing project. Right clicking on project header or left clicking on more options icon displays Context Menu.

Note: Free trial Users with no cloud platform scope will see a list of all their associated projects (both billing and non-billing). Users, in an organization, with no cloud platform scope will see the default project assigned to them by their administrator. Once cloud platform scope has been granted the list will be updated to including those projects that are qualified as billing.

Data Project

The navigation header displays the currently selected project The count of displayed datasets out of total number of datasets Right clicking on project header displays Context Menu Clicking on the project header displays the Project Browser.

Filtering

Filter by Dataset ID

Datasets can be filtered by ID In Filter by ID input box enter any portion of dataset’s name to be filtered.  To remove filter either remove text from the Filter by ID input box or click clear filter datasets icon to remove all text Dataset List is filtered as text is input into the Filter by ID input box.   You can use Regular Expression in Filter by ID box

Filter by Labels

To help organize projects, arbitrary labels can be added to datasets. After datasets labeled, user can search for datasets based on label values. For example, labels can be used to group datasets by purpose, environment, department, and so on. Datasets can be filtered by label.  Labels are key value pairs that can be assigned to datasets to help organize and identify datasets.  To filter by label click the Filter by Label input box.  A drop down of available labels will display.  Typing will filter the drop down list.  Click on a label from the drop down list to select it.  With a label selected in the input box click the + icon to add the filter.  The + icon will only be active if an existing label is selected. The added filter will display under the Filter by Label section.  Datasets with the label will now be displayed. Label value is optional.  To add value, first add label by clicking in Filter by Label input box and selecting a label from the drop down list.  With a label selected click in the value (optional) input box.  A list of available values associated to selected label is listed.  Click on a value from the drop down list to select it.  With label and value present in their respective input fields click the + icon (2) to filter.  The added filter will display under the Filter by Label section (1).  Datasets with both the selected label and value will be displayed.  Multiple values can be added to a single label filter. To add multiple values, click on the value input box again to see the list of remaining values.  Clicking on another value will add it to the list of values to filter on. Clear filter by labels.  Added filters will display under the Filter by Label section.  Clicking on Remove label filter will remove the selected Datasets can be filtered by ID and Labels at the same time

Filter by Pin/Unpin

Datasets and dataset objects can be filtered by pinning. An item can be flagged to pin/unpin and clicking on Display only pinned will filter by Datasets and/or Objects. Pins are available to the left of datasets and dataset objects. A bold, colored pin means the item is pinned. A grey colored pin means the item is not pinned. To pin/unpin an item click on the pin icon. Display only pinned provides options to filter datasets and/or dataset objects. To filter check an option. Checking Datasets display only those datasets that are pinned. Checking Objects displays only those dataset objects that are pinned. Checking Datasets and Objects displays only those datasets and objects that have been pinned.

Table

Grouping & Sorting

Tables are listed under their respective dataset.  

Tables are sorted by case sensitive name.

Table list is paged.  Currently datasets with greater than 2,000 items are paged.
An additional page of 2,000 is loaded by clicking on Show More.

Table names ending in date formats such as YYYYMMDD are consolidated by year and month depending on their quantity.
Currently if only one table meets the format criteria it is not consolidated and will instead display the full name.

Tables are prepended with an icon:

Icon	Represents
	Table
	External Table
	View
	Materialized View
	Folder for grouped tables
	Model
	Procedure
	Function

Expanding tables

Columns are displayed by left clicking on a table to expand it. 

Folders also have a context menu (right-click)

Menu Item	Action
Expand	Expands selected node
Collapse	Closes selected node

Expanding datasets (left click) displays a list of tables associated with the dataset.  A count of tables within that dataset is displayed to right of dataset name.  Consolidated tables display a folder icon. Consolidated tables are tables with the same table name followed by a data in the format of YYYYMMDD. An icon representing an External Table. An icon representing a Function. An icon representing a Materialized View. An icon representing a Model. An icon representing a Stored Procedure. An icon representing a Table. An icon representing a View. Sorting selections are available.  To sort tables, make a selection from the sort dropdown. Sorting is available once all table metadata is processed Sort Option Name Size Rows Created Modified Location Expired Type Click on AZ icon to switch between ascending and descending order. Note: For Sort Option Name the top level name is sorted only. Children of consolidated tables are not sorted.

Table's Schema

Columns are displayed under the table name.  The name of the column is displayed Along with the data type which is color coded for visual representation Columns with record data types can be further expanded (indicated with + or – icon before table name) Insert the column to query text area by double clicking column
