    List File Metadata and Use Filter Options (Beta)

    A read-access user can see the list of all pulled files with their current statuses from the 3rd-party plugins or manually uploaded files.

    1. Go to Custom File Classification > File Metadata.
    1. The list of all Files are shown. The first time you see this screen, the default view will present Files added (via API) in the last 7 days. The File list is paginated with a default page size of 10 records that can be increased to show up to 100 records. By default, records are sorted in descending order of Last Seen.
    2. There are different filter options available based on the File metadata or Metadata by Destinations that are or can be associated with each File. You can add one or more filters and can add a group of filters to dive into a subset of all the Files. The detailed list of filter options and field meanings is shown below. You can also select Not for a negative filter criteria.
