Deleting a dataset

In CDP Data Visualization, you can delete a dataset without deleting the data from the database.

The Data view appears, open on the Datasets tab.
Find the dataset in the list of datasets, either by scrolling or by using search.
On the row that represents the particular dataset, click the Delete (trash) icon to delete the dataset.
In this example, the Cereals dataset has been selected, which contains 1 visual.

It contains information about all related dashboards and linked and unlinked visuals that the system deletes with the dataset:
- Snapshot with a tag indicating that the artifact is a visual or a dashboard
- Title
- ID
- Related Dashboards / Visuals lists the number of related artifacts, and their IDs.
  - For visuals, this is the number and IDs of dashboards where they appear.
  - For dashboards, it is the number and IDs of visuals that they contain.
- Created date
- Last Updated time period
- Modified by username
