Filter parameter catalogue
Parameter catalogue can be filtered to reduce clutter and see the parameters in focus. Filtering the catalogue can help identify and address parameters that pose a high level of threat on priority.
Parameter catalogue can be filtered from the Catalogue Summary widgets and using the Advanced filters located above the Parameters List view.
| Filtering the catalogue using a Summary widget sets the Advanced filter to the criteria for the legend or data you click on the widget. Using the Advanced filters on top of the filtering criteria set by the widget filters the catalogue further. For example, clicking the Unauthenticated APIs response count in the Sensitive Parameters widget and setting the Advanced filter PII Type = Email Address filters the catalogue to show APIs that are sending email addresses without using any authentication. |

Advanced filters
Advanced filters can be used to filter API parameters by their API characteristics and methods, data type, PII type, and location. The catalogue can be filtered solely using Advanced filters.
Click the Filter icon at the top-right corner of the parameter listing to open the filters menu.

Precise Match
Precise Match is a switch to filter the text string columns of the parameter catalogue list by the exact match of the text you enter to filter the list.
By default, the Precise Match switch is set to ON.
