Tasks - Global Search

We have expanded the search bar capabilities across all Task pages, Workflows, Models, and the Metadata Catalog. Previously, searches were limited to the name column, but now you can search acorss key columns such as status and description. This enhancement allows for a more comprehensive search experience, enabling you to locate records based on a wider range of attributes.

  1. Workflow Runs table filters
  2. Column-level filters in the Metadata Catalog
  3. Filters for archived tasks and disabled models
