# Perspectives

A perspective is a saved, governed query built on a Data Product's semantic layer. It preserves the dimensions, measures, filters, and time window you selected, so the same result can be reused, shared, or consumed through a Data API.

This page covers how to **discover** existing perspectives in the Hub. To create one from a query, see [Save as Perspective](/consume/v1/evaluate/query-in-studio/save-as-perspective.md).

## Switch the scope to Perspectives

Open the scope selector next to the search field and choose **Perspectives**. The Hub lists the perspectives in the tenant as cards. Each shows the icon, name, and a short description, so you can tell at a glance whether one already answers your question.

## Filter

When many exist, the **Filter by** panel gets you to the right one faster:

* **Visibility:** show perspectives shared with **Everyone** or scoped to **Only Me**.
* **Data Product:** show only perspectives built on the product you care about.
* **Tags:** group perspectives by your team's conventions.
* **Owner:** find perspectives maintained by a specific person.

Combine filters with keyword search to narrow further. See [Filters](/consume/v1/discover/search-the-hub/filters.md).

## Open one

Click a perspective to open its detail panel and confirm it fits before you reuse it. The panel shows the description (what it returns), visibility (who else relies on it), the Data Product it is built on, and the owner. Select **Know more** to open the full perspective page, with **Data**, **Columns**, **Lineage**, and **Data APIs** tabs. See [Save as Perspective](/consume/v1/evaluate/query-in-studio/save-as-perspective.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://v2.dataos.info/consume/v1/discover/search-the-hub/perspectives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
