| 6 | +# Saving asset filters as catalog views |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Catalog views enable you to filter down your view of the Dagster Asset catalog in Dagster+, allowing you to toggle between sets of assets that you care about most. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +You can save catalog views for your own use or share them with your team. For example, you could create views that: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- Filter assets based on ownership to only show those owned by your team |
| 13 | +- Filter assets based on the asset kind to give insight into the status of your ELT ingestion |
| 14 | +- Display assets with a "gold" medallion tag, showing only refined, high-quality data that analysts can use with confidence analysts can use with confidence |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +In this guide, you'll learn how to create, access, and share catalog views with others. |

| 29 | +## Create catalog views |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +To view the Dagster+ Asset catalog, use the **Catalog** button on the top navigation. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +In any Dagster+ catalog page, you can access the current catalog view, or create a new catalog view with the catalog view button on the top left of the screen. By default, this button is labeled **All assets**, and has a globe icon. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +To create a new catalog view, you have two options: |
| 38 | +1. Create a new catalog view from scratch, from the catalog view menu. |
| 39 | +2. Create a new catalog view from your current set of filters. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Create a new catalog view from scratch |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +1. Click the catalog view button to open the catalog view menu. From here, click the **New** button. |
| 44 | +2. Give the view a name and optionally, a description and icon. |
| 45 | +3. Click **Add filters** to select filters to apply to the view. Filters can select a subset of assets based on their metadata, tags, kinds, owners, asset groups, or other properties. |

| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Create a new catalog view from your current set of filters |
| 54 | + |
