Using the Dataset Wizard​

  1. Enter a Dataset Name.
  2. Choose the Type of Data (e.g., tabular, documents, audio).
  3. Click Continue.

Selecting a File Source​

  1. Choose one of:
    • File Upload (local files)
    • Read From External Service (databases, blob storage, applications)
    • Streaming Dataset (streaming sources)
