# Data Blocks Dashboard

The **Data Blocks** section of the Component Analytics dashboard in Assette provides a centralized and categorized overview of all data blocks used across your organization’s content. Data blocks are core components that power data integration, transformation, and presentation in Assette documents. This view allows users to audit and manage data processing logic by viewing distribution across block categories and subtypes, along with activity metadata.

## Accessing the Data Blocks Dashboard

To view data block metrics:

1. Navigate to the top menu and select **Analytics → Components**.
2. In the dashboard, locate and click on the **Data Blocks** card.

This section is accessible to all users and provides real-time visibility into how data logic is structured across the platform.

## Advanced Search and Filtering

The **Advanced Filter** option allows you to refine results by applying detailed content classifications. This functionality is available across different component types such as data objects, data blocks, and brand themes. By using these filters, users can quickly narrow down large sets of items to locate specific components that meet defined criteria.

Filters can be applied across multiple dimensions, including:

- **Labels**: Classify content by categories such as “Consider as” or “Content Bin” to organize and identify items based on purpose or type.
- **Limitations**: Restrict results based on intended content type, strategy, asset class, account, product, or other relevant attributes.
- **Data Ingredients**: Identify dependencies or underlying data sources connected to the component.

As filters are applied, a summary panel displays selected classifications, making it easier to review and adjust before confirming. This structured filtering ensures greater efficiency when auditing, troubleshooting, or analyzing how components are used throughout the platform.

Once the desired filters are selected, click **Apply** to update the view.

## Accessing X-Ray for Data Block Analysis

Each data block entry in the list includes an **X-Ray icon** on the right side. Clicking this icon opens **X-Ray View**, where you can trace how the data block is used across templates, shells, and other components. This helps in:

- Understanding dependencies and usage relationships
- Verifying integration points and data flow
- Troubleshooting unexpected output or data inconsistencies
