# Data Views

Data views allow you to define multiple, pre-filtered views of the same data source. This can be useful when entities exist in different states and you want a way to toggle between them.

## Defining data views

Data views are defined via the [collections](/umbraco-ui-builder/13.latest/collections/overview.md) configuration.

### **AddDataView(string name, Lambda whereClauseExpression) : CollectionConfigBuilder\<TEntityType>**

Adds a data view with the given name and **where clause** filter expression. Expression must be a `boolean` expression.

```csharp
// Example
collectionConfig.AddDataView("Active", p => p.IsActive);
```

### **AddDataView(string group, string name, Lambda whereClauseExpression) : CollectionConfigBuilder\<TEntityType>**

Adds a data view with the given group, name and **where clause** filter expression. Expression must be a `boolean` expression.

```csharp
// Example
collectionConfig.AddDataView("Status", "Active", p => p.IsActive);
```

## 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://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-ui-builder/13.latest/filtering/data-views.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.
