- Data set filters work with asset hierarchies built with dedicated resource types and where the data is grouped into data sets. A data set is a container for data objects with metadata about the data it contains.
- Prefix filters work with asset hierarchies built with dedicated resource types. They let you filter the search results to data objects where the external ID starts with a specific string.
Location filters
Manage locations
Define location filters to help users find and select data related to specific physical locations, improving 3D experiences and natural language search results.
Each CDF project contains a system default location filter. It doesn’t match any physical location and isn’t linked to a 3D scene. Data from asset-centric and/or core data models are displayed without any filtering, and the system default location only shows singular 3D models.
We strongly recommend configuring additional location filters to match your organization’s physical location structure. You can create a hierarchy of location filters.
Depending on how your data is stored and structured, you can use data sets, and prefixes to define location filters:
