You can use existing data sets in Data Workbench to create your own custom data sets. This process is simple: open a data set, apply filters to it, and save it as a new data set.

Navigate to the Data catalogue

Go to the Data catalogue page. This page is divided into four tabs:

  • Predefined data sets – Constantly updated templates with dynamic data, which are an excellent starting point for creating your custom data set.

  • Created data sets – Data sets that were created within your workspace.

  • Shared with me – Data sets shared with you by your partners. You cannot modify the originals, but you can apply filters and create new data sets from them.

  • File storage – A place to upload files and share them with your partners.

Create a custom data set

  1. Choose a tab and open the data set you want to modify (for example, a predefined data set).

  2. Apply filters to refine the data.

  3. Select Save as new.

  4. In the window that opens, give the new data set a name.

  5. Optionally, add tags and a description to make the data set easier to find later.

  6. Select Save.

Congratulations, you have created your custom data set.

Manage access to your data set

To see who can access your data set:

  1. Open the data set and go to the Details tab.

  2. Under Shared with, check who currently has access.

  3. To revoke access, select the editing icon, then select the X icon next to the person or workspace whose access you want to remove.
