Datasets
What you’ll learn:
- How to view and manage your datasets across projects
- Ways to share datasets between different projects
- Understanding different dataset types and their uses
Overview
The Datasets page lists all datasets available across your projects. Datasets are the foundation of data-driven slide presentations in Cast.app and can be shared between multiple projects for consistency and efficiency.
You may search through and sort your datasets at the top of the page. Below, you may add a new dataset, or view/edit/delete datasets.
Datasets drive:
- Contact lists or personas, i.e., individual users and executives at your customer who you send Cast presentations to.
- Slide visualizations, and
- Fields, which in turn drive Liquid Snippets and narrations.
View the different options under Dataset Types for instructions on how to upload your data.
