Tables

Overview

All datasets that contain data will have at least one table (and up to 1,000), displayed on the Tables tab of the dataset page. Tables are the "container" for all data on Redivis, including for geospatial and unstructured data types.

Tables are created by data editors when they upload data, and users' access to these tables will be governed by the dataset's access configuration.

Tables can be explored from the dataset page, including the ability to view variables and summary statistics, cell contents, and run one-off queries against the table.

These tables are then further utilized from within a workflow.

See here for full documentation concerning tables and their functionality.

Creating tables

New tables can be created on the Tables tab of the dataset editor page by clicking on + New table. Tables can only be created on the unreleased next version of the dataset – if the dataset doesn't have a next version, you'll need to create the next version first.

Updating tables

Table metadata, such as the table name, description, and entity, can be edited at any time from the dataset editor page, even on released versions. The table's data can only be updated on an unreleased version; see the uploading data documentation for more information.

Deleting tables

Tables can only be deleted on the unreleased next version of the dataset – if the dataset doesn't have a next version, you'll need to create the next version first. Note that deleting a table on deletes that table on the version you're editing. It will still exist on any historic versions of the dataset.
