What is a Dataset?

A Dataset refers to a collection of data that is organized and stored together. The dataset presents structured data in tabular form, relevant to a particular domain or business process. Each dataset contains attributes and metrics of data, where each row represents a record, and each column represents a data attribute or field.

An entity of a dataset represents a distinct object or a concept about which data is collected and stored. It is a fundamental building block and serves as the basis for creating a dashboard.

Example: Consider a dataset named ‘Customers,’ containing an entity named ‘Customer’ representing distinct data, where each row contains information about an individual customer, and each column represents attributes like customer ID, name, address, email, and so on.

Customer ID	Customer Name	Address	Email
001	ABC	123 Main St	abc@example.com
002	DEF	456 XYZ Avenue	def@example.com
003	GHI	789 ABC Street	ghi@example.com

The Dataset is designed for creating out-of-the-box and self-service dashboards. You can develop reusable, and reliable datasets tailored for your specific business use case.

The Dataset serve as the foundation for out-of-the-box dashboards. It provides the data that drives visualizations and insights. Utilizing pre-built components and configurations, you can create informative and interactive dashboards with minimal coding or development.
