Datasets

Datasets can be created in the data space or bound to the data space from the component's slice tab. All datasets are displayed in the Dataset List panel.

Dataset Classification

1. General Datasets: Datasets created from the data space that can be directly bound to components after creation.
2. Slice Datasets: Datasets bound to the data space from the component's slice tab. When a component's slice function is enabled, slice datasets are updated in real time to reflect user selection operations on the component. Slice datasets cannot be directly bound to components.

💡 Tip

Typically, slice datasets are used to retrieve their source data and extract data that needs processing, or to perform similar operations on data in the data space related to the source data. The resulting data from these operations can be used to define new general datasets, which can then be bound to new components.

Supported Dataset Operations

Update and delete operations after dataset creation are completed in the Dataset List panel.

1. General Datasets: Support updating dataset names and deletion.
2. Slice Datasets: Support deletion.

Best Practices

1. If a dataset needs to expand in row or column direction, it is recommended to create only one dataset in a single worksheet.
2. Try to keep slice datasets and their source datasets in the same worksheet.
3. Dataset names should reflect their business attributes and their location in the data space.

Datasets are the foundation and core of visualization. Combined with components, they can create powerful and flexible visual dashboards.

Now that datasets are ready, you can focus on visual design! 🚀
