Datasets⚓︎

This section explains how to browse, configure, and download datasets in the TDEI Portal.

For a list of all guides on the TCAT Wiki, refer to the Guides List.

Overview⚓︎

The Datasets section lists datasets available within the TDEI system. It has two tabs:

Tab	Description
My Project Datasets	Datasets belonging to your currently active project group
All Released Datasets	All datasets that have been publicly released across the entire TDEI system

The TDEI portal's Datasets page showing the All Released Datasets tab with Type set to All and no filters applied. Three datasets are visible.

Each dataset entry displays:

Field	Description
Dataset Name	The name of the dataset, with upload timestamp and version number
Project Group	The project group the dataset belongs to
Service Name	The service the dataset is associated with
Type	The data type: `OSW`, `Flex`, or `Pathways`
Id	The unique dataset ID; select the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard
Derived Dataset Id	The ID of the dataset from which this one is derived; select the copy icon to copy it
Action (⋮)	Opens the action menu for the dataset (refer to Action)

Filtering Datasets⚓︎

Use the Type dropdown to quickly filter the list by dataset type (All, OSW, Flex, or Pathways).

For more specific filtering, select the Filter button to expand the filter panel:

Filter	Description
Dataset	Search by dataset name
Project Group	Filter by project group name
Service	Filter by service name
Dataset ID	Search by a specific dataset ID
Valid From	Filter to datasets valid from a given date
Valid To	Filter to datasets valid up to a given date

The Datasets filter panel expanded with Type set to OSW and "TCAT_WSP_PG" entered in the Project Group field. One matching result is shown.

Select Clear next to any field to reset that filter, or use Sort by to change the sort order. Select the Refresh (↻) button to refresh the list.

Double-check the dataset name!

The Dataset filter returns every dataset whose name contains the text you entered, not just exact matches.

For example, searching for "Spokane" returns WSP_Spokane_Valley_City, WSP_Spokane_UI, WSP_Spokane_City, and WSP_Spokane_County.

If the dataset you want isn't the first result, scroll through the list to find the one with the exact name you need.
