# Filtering Samples by Metadata

# The Filter Panel enables you to customized your Sample View based on custom metadata fields.

Cosmos-Hub allows you to filter your dashboard view on the Samples menu by using your uploaded custom metadata fields.

<Note>
  Metadata filters are global across all samples and datasets. To limit the filters to a particular dataset or folder, use the "Folder Path" filter.
