Dataset List Filtering
From the dropdown menu on the data tab it is possible to define which Datasets are displayed on the Dataset list:
- A. Data: All Datasets that exist in the tenant that are not archived (default option)
- B. Archived: All Datasets that exist in the tenant that have been tagged
archived
See Archive a Dataset - C. Tenant ID data (Master): Only exists for users who have access to a master tenant. Lists all non-archived Datasets in the master tenant. Users will not have access to all functionality
This feature will provide performance improvements when opening the Dataset tab by only loading the Dataset lists as they are selected from the dropdown
For detail on archiving a Dataset see Archive a Dataset
Active Survey Dataset Warning
Any dataset being used in an active survey should not be edited due to the risk of breaking the survey.
To safeguard against this possibility attempting to edit any dataset currently being used by a live survey will produce a warning

Any permissions applied on the Dataset metadata screen will be displayed in the permissions' column of the Dataset listing
The tag will display the permission level along with the number of roles that have this permission level applied for the relevant Dataset
Hovering the cursor over the permission icon will reveal a pop-up window displaying the role(s) with this permission set
Dataset permissions:

Archive a Dataset
When opening the data tab, the system must load all the Datasets Views and Drafts listed
The more of these there are, the longer it will take to display the list
If there are items that are not currently being used, an alternative to deleting is to archive them
This keeps them available for future use, but keeps the list smaller which will improve the speed of loading
To archive a Dataset, View or Draft either:
- Add the tag
archived
into the tags on the Dataset Metadata screen for the required Dataset - Click
save
Or:
- Select the required dataset on the Dataset List
- Open the menu using the ellipsis button
- Select
Archive
- A confirmation message will be displayed
- Select
Archive
to confirm the archiving of the dataset
This Dataset will then be shown on the archived Dataset list, see Dataset List Filtering for more details
To un-archive a Dataset, delete the archived
tag or select the un-archive
option and the Dataset will reappear on the main Dataset list
Any Datasets tagged
archived
will not be visible in workspace
For details on other tags see Tags
Archive Multiple Datasets
It is also possible to archive multiple datasets at the same time by:
- Selecting the required datasets on the Dataset List
- Select the
Archive
button - A confirmation message will be displayed
- Select
Archive
on this message to complete the process

When creating a save as copy of a Dataset the following points should be noted:
- Users will only be able to create a save-as of the properties that they have access to
- Dataset name must be unique, and the user will be prevented from saving if the name is not unique
- The user cannot de-select required fields. Required fields are defined as the Unique ID, label and the parent ID (if the Dataset is hierarchical)
- Property tags and alternative property keys will be brought across into the new dataset
- Dataset permissions, property permissions and Dataset Tags will not be copied
- All formats, expressions and lookup configuration will be copied into the new copy of the Dataset
Once the Dataset has been created the Dataset Metadata of the newly copied Dataset will be shown allowing further edits to the Dataset and properties if required
