how to filter all dimension/metric for a specific dataSet in the CJA dataView configuration screen ?

Hi @Pradeep-Jaiswal 

In the CJA Data View configuration screen, there is currently no direct filter to display only the dimensions or metrics from a specific dataset. It is a bit of a limitation right now.

However, your can try the following -

1. Hover over each dimension/metric in the list, the tooltip will show which dataset it’s from.
   
   

2. Or, click into the dimension/metric, and under the metadata panel, you will see the originating dataset clearly labeled.
   
   

3. To make things easier for future reference, use naming conventions when defining components in your schema or when creating calculated metrics/dimensions, like prefixing with the dataset name (e.g., web: Page URL).
   
   

Also, If you are managing large or multiple data views, keeping a separate reference doc (mapping dataset --> components) really helps keep things tidy until Adobe adds native filtering for this.

Let me know if that helps!

To filter dimensions/metrics by dataset in CJA’s Data View screen:

-Use the search bar with the dataset name (shown in parentheses).
-Optionally rename or tag components for easier filtering.

Hi @Pradeep-Jaiswal ,

Unfortunately, as of now (2025), Adobe does not provide a native filter to isolate dimensions/metrics by datasetdirectly in the Data View configuration UI.

But there are a few workarounds and tips to help you manage it effectively:

1. Use the Field Search with a Dataset Prefix (if consistent)

If your schema uses consistent field naming conventions like:

• web.eventType
• form.email
• marketo.programId

Then you can filter by keyword using the search bar:

• Type web. to only see fields from the Web dataset.
• Type form. to filter only fields from the Form dataset.

You can enforce these naming conventions while designing schemas in AEP XDM.

2. Check Dataset Schema in AEP First

Before creating or editing a Data View:

• Go to Adobe Experience Platform > Datasets
• Open the dataset used in your connection
• Click Schema tab to see all fields
• Use this to identify which fields are specific to which dataset

3. Use “Used In” Information (Post-Creation)

After a field is added to the Data View:

You can see where it came from by:

• Clicking the (settings) icon on the metric/dimension
• Hover over or inspect the “Field Path”, which shows the originating schema

4. Add Fields to a Scratch View

If you're unsure about fields and want to test:

• Create a temporary data view for each dataset
• Add all available fields
• Export or document field names
• Then use that reference when building the final unified data view

Adobe recommends schema planning in AEP to ensure field names are intuitive and scoped, making them easier to manage in CJA.

Thanks.
