More Like This / Similar Files

Nx offers a "find more like this" feature, enabling the discovery of files with similar content and record types. This feature facilitates advanced Dark Data Analysis through its integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) engines. Found under the Data Inventory table within the Data Catalog Dashboard, the More Like This feature identifies files with similar attributes and context to the selected ones, promoting thorough exploration.

By determining verified similarities, you can directly classify these related files from the dashboard, streamlining the process. This tool also serves as a valuable means to perform quality control checks, enhancing overall data management and analysis capabilities.
