Updating a data set from a file

The Reload Data set operation updates a data set from a file and makes the updated data set available in the Catalog.

To update a data set from a file:

  1. In the Catalog, locate the data set you want to update.
  2. Open the quick look for the data set, and from the Actions menu, select Reload Data set.
    This starts the personal data upload wizard.
  3. Click Browse, locate the file, and click Open.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the Preview page, you can both edit attributes and limit the data before you upload it:
    1. To exclude an attribute from the data set, deselect its check box.
    2. To modify the name of an attribute as it appears in the data set, select the column header and edit the name of the attribute.
    3. To specify that the file includes a header row, select My data includes header row. If you deselect this option, Studio creates an alphabetized list in place of attribute names.
    4. If necessary, you can indicate how many rows to skip from the top of the file.
    5. If the file is an MS Excel file, you can select which sheet to load.
    6. If you know the language of text data in your attributes, expand Advanced Settings and select the source language from Language. (This setting is used during data processing and then used for value and keyword searches.)
  6. Click Next.
  7. Click Reload.

After processing, an updated data set is available in the Catalog.
