Managing your personal data sets

You can manage your personal data sets from the My Data Sets page.

Before you begin

The administrator must first grant you access to these two Cognos® Connection components:

a Data Sets repository

For more information, see Configuring the connection to a personal data set repository.
the My Data Sets page

For more information, see Configuring access to personal data sets.

Procedure

In IBM® Cognos Connection, in the upper-right corner, click My Area Options , My Data Sets.
Tip: You can also click My Data Sets from the Welcome page.

The My Data Sets page appears. It lists all of the data sets that you created and displays the following information for each data set:
- Name - The name of the data set. The default name is the name of the file that you imported.
- Package - The name of the package, if you published the data set.
- Refreshed - The date and time when the data set was last replaced with a data set from an updated file.
- File size (KB) - The size of the uploaded file.
  Note: The total size of all your imported data set files cannot exceed the total size per user that is set by the administrator (Default: 100 MB).
- Rows - The number of rows in the data set table.
- Modified - The date and time when the data set was last modified.
  Note: The date and time in the Modified column is updated after any of several operations, for example after the data set is published or after it is renamed. The Modified date and time does not necessarily reflect when the data was last updated. To determine when the data was last updated, see the date and time in the Refreshed column.
To search for a data set, click Search , enter search text, and click Search.
Tip: You can search for text in the Name field of the data set, the Description field, or both. If you click Advanced, you can refine your search by specifying details about the text to be searched or about when the data set was last modified.
To delete a data set, select the check box for the data set and then click Delete .
To change a property, such as the name or description, or disable or hide the entry, click Set properties .
Tip: To see the names of the database table and the data source connection, click the Data Set tab.
