View a List of Datasets and Information About Them

You can access, browse, sort, or search a list of datasets. From the dataset list, you can choose any available dataset to use in a workbook.

Your permissions determine which datasets are displayed in the list and the actions that you can perform on a dataset (Open, Reload Data, or Download File).
You can use the dataset list to find information about a specific dataset, for example which data source connection it uses, when it was created and last modified, and the name, data type, and aggregation of each dataset column.
