Data Explorer

Estimated time to read: 1 minute

There are multiple ways to interact with Data in MongoDB. The Data Explorer allows access directly via the Atlas UI.

The Data Explorer allows searching for a Namespace within the database. A Namespace is the concatentation of the database name and collection name, for example with a database named sample_training and a collection named companies, the Namespace for this would be sample_training.companies.

Data can be queried using the filter entry within the Data Explorer.

Queries can be issued by providing key:value pairs. For example, to see all documents where the "state" is "NY" provide {"state": "NY"}. Additionally, to limit this query even further, a "city" field can be queried, {"state": "NY", "city": "ALBANY"}.
