Datasets

Overview

The datasets section of the organization administrator panel provides a comprehensive list of all your organizations datasets. This includes any unpublished datasets.

You can click the + New dataset button to create a new dataset, or click on any dataset to edit that dataset and its access configuration.

Full documentation for creating and editing datasets can be found at:

Creating & editing datasets

Featured datasets

Featured datasets will be prominently displayed on the main page of your organization's data portal, and may rank higher in search results. To feature a dataset, right click on that dataset and change its status to featured.

Dataset labels

You can label your datasets by right clicking on any dataset or selected group of datasets on the Datasets list. You can see existing labels for each dataset by showing the additional column on the list, or filter the list of datasets down to only one matching your selected label.

When creating labels, you can use a colon (e.g., school:medicine, school:business) to group information for reporting. When generating a report, the high level grouping before the colon (e.g. school) will be an option for aggregation.

Bulk management

As your organization creates datasets, you may find it easier to perform certain dataset management operations in bulk. To do so, shift/cmd+click to select multiple datasets in the list, and right click to apply options to all selected datasets.
