# Browse datasets

The **Datasets** page displays **all datasets that have been onboarded into Soda Clou**d—either through publishing a contract or via the [onboarding process](/soda-documentation/onboard-data-sources-and-datasets/onboard-datasets-on-soda-cloud.md).

It provides a quick overview of each dataset’s health, showing at a glance if a dataset has **issues**, **how many checks** from its contract **are failing**, how many **anomalies** were detected through metric monitoring, and **when the last scan was executed**.

You can filter datasets by properties like data source, owners, arrival time, attributes, or flags such as failures or anomalies. Use the search bar to quickly find a specific dataset by name, and sort the list by name, creation time, or data quality status.

You can also sort the datasets list by name, creation date, check failures, or arrival time, among other options, to prioritize your focus.

## Customize your datasets' view

You can **tailor the Datasets 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 to store your current filter configuration as a **collection**. Enter a **name** for the collection and click **Save**.

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.

# 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-datasets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
