About Analytics Datasets
The term dataset refers to the in-memory cached and on-disk saved
data for a statistic, and is presented as an entity in Analytics with administration
controls. Datasets are automatically created whenever you view statistics in Open
Worksheets. A dataset is not saved to disk for future viewing unless you archive it. See
Statistics Actions.
The Analytics > Datasets screen in the BUI lists all datasets. These include open
statistics that are being viewed in a worksheet (and as such are temporary datasets that
disappear when the worksheet is closed) and statistics that are being archived to
disk.
The following fields are displayed in the
Datasets view for all datasets:
