Requires Imports - Add/Edit Permissions

When you select a Data Set from the Navigation Tree, right-click and select Edit, you can edit the Data Set properties (that is, the name or description of the Data Set).

When you edit the name or description of a Data Set, the appropriate update task appears in the Work Basket to describe the change in name and/or description.

Edit Data Set Basic Information

• Name The unique name of an item. For many items, the name can have up to 100 characters. Some items, such as a Connector name, can have up to 255 characters. An Excluded Content Block name is limited to 32 characters. (required) — Select a unique name that will be used to represent the Data Set (which may consist of one or more Data Areas). The name must be unique within the Organization and is subject to validation upon creation or edit. You can rename a Shared or Private Data Set. The name can include alphanumeric characters, spaces between characters in the name (leading and trailing spaces are ignored), and some supported characters (such as a hyphen, underscore, and apostrophe). During validation, the software will also allow characters from foreign languages (for example, Korean characters). However, the following characters are not supported for Data Set names and will generate an error message indicating that your entry contains invalid characters:

! " # $ % & * + . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ { | } ~ “ ”

Note: These character restrictions apply to most tree items, such as Imports (Data Sets), Exports, Tags, Folders, Saved Searches, Workflows, Comparisons, Samples, and Synthetic Documents. To support auto-discovery of Custodians based on staging, a Custodian name has fewer restrictions regarding invalid characters.

• Description Provides a helpful description of an item. A description can have up to 255 characters.— Assign a helpful description of this Data Set. You can add or change a description for a Shared or Unshared (Private) Data Set.
