Datasets

A Qrvey Dataset is a collection of structured data used to create dashboards and visualizations within the platform. There are two types of Datasets. Managed Datasets store data inside Qrvey’s data repository, a high-performance, scalable, serverless OpenSearch cluster. Alternatively, Live Connect Datasetsprovide data access directly from its source, enabling real-time queries without the need to load data.

Create a Dataset

  1. Navigate to the Data Module and make sure you are in the Datasets tab.

  2. Click Create New Dataset. A dropdown will appear. Choose to create a:

    • New Managed Dataset
    • New Live Connect Dataset
  3. Configure as Desired.

    All new datasets are given the default name of {connection name} - {table/view name}. At this point your Dataset is ready for use; however you can make changes as needed.
