Creating a dataset

Steps to create either a manual or a mapped dataset.

Creating a dataset

You need editor or admin access.

Steps

  1. Open the project, then Datasets → New dataset.
  2. Pick a schema — the shape of the data.
  3. Pick a source type:
    • Manual — you type values in a grid.
    • Mapped — pick a mapping to produce the rows.
  4. Save. The dataset opens on its editor page.

Manual datasets

For a manual object dataset, edit the single record's fields inline. For a manual list dataset, add rows in the grid.

Mapped datasets

The row list is read-only — it is what the mapping produced. To change the values, edit the source or the mapping.

You can still add filters, sort and row limit on top of the mapping; these run after the mapping and before the dataset is read by productions.

Naming

Name the dataset after its content, not its source. "Premier League — Matchday 5" tells an operator what is in it; "Excel import 2024-08-14" does not.
