Certify a Dataset

When you certify a dataset, you're confirming that the dataset contains accurate, reliable data. When users search for data from the Home page, certified data is ranked high in the search results.

Note:

A file-based dataset must be indexed and certified before the users you shared the dataset with can use it to build visualizations from the Home Page. See Index a Dataset and Use the Search Bar to Visualize Data from the Home Page.

You can certify datasets if you're a member of an Administrator role and have Full Control or Read-Write access to the dataset.

For best search results only certify the datasets with data that users need to find. Certifying all datasets yields too many search results. Oracle recommends that you first certify the minimum number of datasets and then certify additional datasets only as needed.

1. On the Home page, click Navigator and then click Data.
2. Click the Datasets tab.
3. Locate the dataset that you want to certify, click Actions, and then click Inspect.
4. Click the General tab.
5. Go to the Certified By field and click the Certify button.
6. Click Save.
