Cloning a dataset

Cloning a dataset in Cloudera Data Visualization enables you to quickly create a duplicate dataset to use as a foundation for new analyses, testing, or experimentation. This is especially useful for exploring different transformations, filters, or display options without affecting the original dataset.

  1. On the main navigation bar, click DATA.

    The Data view opens, displaying the Datasets tab.

  2. Find the dataset you want to clone, by either browsing through the connection and the dataset lists, or by using the Search function.
  3. Click the name of the dataset.
    The dataset side navigation panel appears, open on the Dataset Detail view.
  4. Click Actions > Clone Dataset in the top-right corner.
    The original dataset is cloned. The cloned dataset will appear with the name "Clone of [original dataset name]" and will have a new ID, inheriting all other settings and attributes of the original dataset.
