# Browse checks
The **Checks** page displays all checks defined in a data contract and tracked in Soda Cloud. It provides a quick overview of check health across datasets, allowing you to create **custom groupings** by applying filters such as data source, dataset, owners, or status (pass, fail, warning). This helps you focus on specific areas or teams that matter most.
You can also review key details like the check type, the dataset it belongs to, and the time of the last scan. Use the search bar to quickly find a specific check by name, and sort the list by name, last run time, or check status.
You can filter checks by properties such as data source, dataset, owners, attributes, or status (pass, fail, warning). Use the search bar to quickly find a specific check by name.

## Customize your check view
You can tailor the Checks view to focus on the areas that matter most to you:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Use the filter options to narrow down the view
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click the **Save** button (top right) to store your current filter configuration as a **collection**. **Enter a name** for the collection and click **Save**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Once saved, your collection will be available in the **dropdown** at the top right of the dashboard. Simply select it to switch views.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Use the context menu next to the collection name to:
* **Delete** the collection if it’s no longer needed.
* **Share** the collection with others in your organization.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.soda.io/soda-documentation/manage-issues/browse-checks.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
