You can access your Tenant's Workspaces, Projects, and Datasets in the content space. The three clickable Content KPI Cards for Workspaces, Projects, and Datasets take you to the respective tabs on the Content Page.

Dataset

A dataset is a compilation or collection of data, usually in tabular form. However, non-tabular datasets can also be compiled, as in the case of an XML file, where data appears in the form of marked-up strings of characters.
In the case of Datasets, you can

  • Search, Add, Edit, Export, and Delete a Dataset

  • Add Users and Groups to the Dataset

  • Edit Access Control of the Dataset

(info)
Notes:
  • Hover over any dataset and click on the dataset. You are navigated to the edit dataset page. In the top-right corner you see the following buttons:

    • Export Dataset

    • Edit Dataset

    • Edit Access Control

  • You can use these functionalities as required.

  3. From the available options, select and click the required dataset type. A window to create the Dataset is displayed.

  4. Fill in the required details. Refer to Dataset Cookbook for all types of datasets. After creating the Dataset, you are navigated back to the Dataset tab on the Admin Module's Content page.

Searching a Dataset

Searching a dataset from a long list can be time-consuming. The Search Dataset field helps to search your desired Dataset quickly.
To search a Dataset,

  1. In the Dataset tab, click inside the Search Dataset field.

  2. Type the name of the project you want to search.

Partial names are allowed for searching. A list of project names matching the search string is populated as you start typing.

Editing a Dataset

After you add a dataset, you can edit it.
To edit a dataset,

  1. Hover over the Dataset you want to edit,

  • Click anywhere on the highlighted row and click Edit Dataset on the next page.

  • Click on the menu icon () and click Edit.

You are navigated to the Update Dataset page.

  1. Make changes to various fields as required.
