====== Datasets & Dataset Lists ======

All datasets opened in the current workspace are listed in the DataSet List. 

In the DataSet List the **dataset username** is displayed and the **visibility** can be set. \\
But **much more dataset information and operations** can be viewed and managed from the DataSet List.

===== Create, Open and Remove Datasets =====

{{  :217:desktop:dataset:datasetlist_.png?nolink|}}

From the + button :
  * Open dataset... \\ Open [[217:desktop:workspace:resource_library|Resource Library]] to Select or Configure any supported resource.
  * New vector dataset... \\ Open [[217:desktop:dataset:new_vector_dataset|Create New Vector Dataset]] wizard.
  * New database resource... \\ Open [[217:desktop:dataset:new_database_resource|Create New Database Resource]] wizard.
  * Import & Geocode...  \\ Open [[217:desktop:dataset:import_geocode|Import & Geocode]] wizard to convert tabular spatial data stored as text, csv or dbf into a supported vector resource.

Remove the [[217:desktop:dataset:operations_indicators#active_dataset|active dataset]] using the - button. 

<note tip>
Open any supported resource to the workspace via file drag and drop.
  * Vector, Image and Raster resources will be added directly.
  * Txt, csv or dbf resources of which spatial columns cannot be identified automatically will start [[217:desktop:dataset:import_geocode|]] wizard. 
  * Point cloud resources different from [[217:technology:supported_formats:pointcloud:opc|]] will open automaticall the [[217:desktop:tools:optimize_data|]] tool. 
</note>

===== Dataset Context Menu =====

{{  :217:desktop:dataset:datasetlist_contextmenu180_.png?nolink|}}

Right-click a Dataset in the Dataset List to Activate the Dataset and open its Dataset Context Menu.

  * Dataset Properties... \\ Open [[217:desktop:dataset:properties|Dataset Properties Window]].
  * Structure... \\  Open Dataset Properties Window > [[217:desktop:dataset:contents:index|Structure Panel]].
  * Legend Editor... \\ Open Dataset Properties Window > [[217:desktop:dataset:legend:index|Legend Editor]].
  * Attribute Table... \\ Open Dataset Properties Window > [[217:desktop:dataset:attribute_table|Attribute Table View]].

  * Zoom to Dataset extent \\ Update Map Scale and Center to get all Objects of the Dataset within the Map View. 
  * Arrange \\  Update the order of the Dataset in the Dataset List. \\ Alternative, drag, and drop of Dataset in Dataset List. 
  * Solo View \\ Hide all other Datasets, except Datasets set to Solo Safe, to focus the Active Dataset. 
  * Solo Safe \\ Protect the Dataset to be hidden on Solo View mode of any other Dataset. 
  * Show Legend Display \\ Display [[217:desktop:dataset:legend_display|Dataset Legend Display]] in the Dataset List

  * Set Scale Limits \\ Set current Map Scale as Dataset Scale Range Limits, see [[217:desktop:dataset:general|]].
 
  * Save Dataset As \\ Save Dataset to different file of the same storage format. \\ To Save edits of a Dataset into its current file, just click the Dataset's Save Icon in the Dataset List, see Dataset Operations.
  * Export Dataset \\ Export Dataset to different file and storage format, or re-project to a different CRS. \\ The [[217:desktop:tools:convert_data|Convert Data]] sidebar will be openend having the dataset as source file.

  * Display in Indoor Mapping / Mobile Mapping / Oblique / UAS Mapping \\ Overlay vector dataset objects in the according Mapping Tab. Availability of Tab depends product configuration. 

===== Dataset Operations in DataSet List =====

  * [[217:desktop:dataset:operations_indicators|Dataset Operations]] : Set dataset visibility, activate a dataset, "record" and save a dataset, cancel loading remote resources and arrange the datasets.

===== Dataset List Options Menu =====

{{  :170:desktop:workspace:datasetlist_menu.png?nolink|}}

  * [[217:desktop:preferences:datasetlist|]] : Determine which indicators have to be visible, whether the resources and storage formats of the  datasets have to appear and in which way dataset lists have to be shown

  * Add Dataset List ((Dataset List : A Workspace can contain several Dataset Lists, each having different Datasets.)) : Choose this option to create a new dataset list and add it to the workspace
  * Rename Dataset List : Choose this option to rename a dataset list.
  * Remove Dataset List : Choose this option to remove a dataset list from the workspace

  *  Set Visible / Invisible : Make all datasets in the dataset list visible or invisible
  * Show / Hide Legend Displays : Show or hide the [[217:desktop:dataset:legend_display|legends displays]] of all datasets in the dataset list.

  * Autofold Legend Display : Autofold the legend display of the active dataset.
