# Search and Filters

The Inventory page helps you quickly find, narrow down, and analyze BI assets within your BI tool. You can use search, filters, and asset-type shortcuts together to move from a broad inventory to a precise, actionable view.

The Asset Type filter tabs let you quickly narrow the list to the type of asset you’re looking for.

Selecting a tile filters the table to that specific asset type.</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Attribute Filter</td><td><p>Use Attribute filters to further refine your inventory results by filtering on specific asset attributes, such as health status.

## Creating an Asset Filter

1. Click **Filters** next to the search bar to open the Asset Filters panel.
2. Give your filter a name.
3. Add Rules and Groups. Use AND or OR.&#x20;
   1. **Rules** define a single condition based on an asset attribute (for example, *Asset Name Does Not Contain “uat”*).
   2. **Groups** allow you to combine multiple rules into a logical set, making it easier to build more complex filtering logic.
   3. **AND** means all selected rules or groups must be true for an asset to be included.
   4. **OR** means an asset is included if at least one of the rules or groups is true.
4. Click **Save** to store the filter for future use.
5. Click **Apply** to apply the filter and update the Inventory table with the filtered results.

The following example excludes all assets containing "uat", but includes assets containing "evaluation".
