Datasets are assets in AirOps that allow teams to quickly search, find, and understand data. Datasets in AirOps can be created and maintained in AirOps through the following options.

The full Library of Datasets can be found in AirOps by clicking Library on the left side navigation bar. The library will display all datasets that are available to you. Filter and search options make it quick and easy to find the right dataset.

Clicking any of the Datasets in the Library will open the Dataset View where additional information and metadata can be found. This information includes:

• The name of the dataset - this can be changes from the database or table name so it is more easily understandable.
• Description of the dataset - this can be automatically imported from the transformation layer (e.g. dbt Cloud), or created/updated directly in AirOps.
• Field names, descriptions, and types - these can also be automatically imported from the transformation layer (e.g. dbt Cloud), or created/updated in AirOps.
• Syncs - Syncs that have been created from the dataset, relevant metadata about the sync, as well as a link directly to the sync object.
• Tags - tags allow datasets to be easily searched and identified by end users. Tags can be added to a dataset when it is created, or on the dataset page after it’s been created.
