Accessing Datasets and Packs

This article explains how to see which Datasets and Packs you have access to.  The content here:

• Assumes you have logged in to Orgvue (see Logging in to Orgvue) and landed at the Orgvue Home Page.
• Focusses on getting you to your data and packs rather than providing a comprehensive overview of the Orgvue Home Page.  This is provided separately in the Orgvue User Guide.
• Requires you to know that Datasets and Packs are separate in Orgvue.  In summary:
  • Datasets contain your raw data in a series of rows and columns. 
  • Packs are collections of slides used to visualize, analyze, and edit your data.   
  • Datasets and Packs are used in combination:  Any pack can be used with any compatible dataset. 

Separate articles show how to open a pack, and create a new pack with the data you have access to.  

Navigate to Workspace

1. Select “Workspace” from the left-hand menu of the Orgvue Home Page:

In Workspace there are separate tabs for Datasets and Packs:


You can toggle between these to see the datasets and packs you have access to.

With the Datasets tab selected

You will see a separate card for each dataset you have access to. In the example below, there is only one dataset. The card shows:

1. The name of the dataset
2. The date the dataset was last modified (saved).
3. The owner of the dataset

If Views and Drafts have been created, these can be seen by selecting the icon shown below. 

NOTE:  If the dataset card is greyed out, you do not have access to the dataset, but you do have access to a View and/ or a Draft which has been created from it. 



After selecting a Dataset, a View or a Draft, you will be prompted to open an existing pack, or create a new pack.
 

With the Pack tab selected

You can see a separate card for each pack.  In this example, there are three packs. As shown below, each card shows:

1. The name of the pack
2. The date the pack was last modified (saved).
3. The data which was used to populate the pack when it was last modified (saved)

When you select a pack (or select ‘New Pack’), you will be prompted to select the data which will be used in the pack.
