## List definition

In addition to the base definition, any dataset resource returned by a `list` request will contain the following properties:

```javascript

    "createdAt": integer, 
    "updatedAt": integer, 
    "tableCount": integer,
    "numBytes": integer, 
    "totalNumBytes": integer,
    "totalActiveTabularBytes": integer,
    "totalInactiveTabularBytes": integer,

    },
    "sampleConfiguration": null | {
        "variableName": null | string,
        "targetRatio": float
    }
}
