# Data Inventories

A data inventory is a curated inventory of data set metadata items which can be analysed in multiple viewing modes, filtered and more.

Data inventories can be created both at a registry-wide level by registry Administrators, containing all data sets that meet their criteria from the entire registry, or at a Stewardship Organisation level by Stewardship Organisation Administrators, containing only relevant data sets from a chosen Stewardship Organisation.

## Data Inventory Functionality

Data inventories can be:

* Created and edited at a:
  * Registry-wide level
  * Stewardship-Organisation-specific level
* Viewed in:
  * List view, which includes:
    * Download options
  * Card view, which includes:
    * Refinement field functionality
    * Filter functionality.

Below are examples of a data inventory set to 'Card View', and 'List View' respectively.
