Creating Datasets

Datasets are collections of data that enables you to analyze data across your organization and build insights about it. You can create datasets, manage associations, view mind maps, add tasks, and rich media to enrich them. You can create datasets in new or existing catalogs. For more information about catalogs, refer to the Creating Catalogs topic.
