Create a Dataset ​

A dataset is an organized collection of data, typically presented in a tabular format. In this format, each column represents a specific variable, and each row corresponds to an individual member of the dataset. These members could be objects, individuals, events, or any entities under consideration, depending on the context.

Your data should be present in two formats of the Dataset:

CSV file characteristics ​

So that the correct creation of the dataset can occur, the Command Center requires some adjustments regarding the CSV file.

  • The CSV file must have an header
  • The fieldname defined in the header should be the same of the one defined in the dataset
  • All the field defined in the dataset should be defined in the CSV file
  • The csv file could contain extra-fields, with respect to the ones defined in the Data Schema, that will be ignored during the upload
  • Must be followed the fieldname validation rules defined in Define properties> 2.1 Validation Rules

[INFO] To facilitate the creation of the dataset, the Command Center provides you with the opportunity to download a template file with the header in the format expected by the Data Schema. This allows you to verify that the field names in both formats match.
