Managing data

Add, edit, delete and filter store data after uploading.

The Datasets section is your organization's source-data library. Here you add, rename and delete datasets — each one a table holding a store list and their information.

Open it from the left navigation bar → Data managementDatasets.

Screen layout

The screen has two columns that always work together:

ColumnContents
Left — Data listYour organization's datasets, with a count (N files). Click to select
Right — FieldsThe columns of the selected dataset, with a count (N fields)

Select a dataset on the left and the right column follows. Editing columns happens in the right column — see Managing structure.

Adding a dataset

The Upload button at the top of the left column works two ways:

  • Click the button itself — upload a data file and create a dataset from it. Supports CSV, Shapefile, GeoJSON and more. See Uploading files.
  • Click the arrow next to it → choose Create empty file — build an empty dataset and declare the columns yourself, for when you have no file at hand.

Renaming a dataset

Each row in the list has two icons at the end. Click the pencil to rename it, then save.

Renaming a dataset

Give it a recognisable name

A dataset's name becomes the layer name shown in the map's Legend. A clear name ("Southern stores", "Authorised dealers") helps both you and your customers far more than an original filename like data_final_v2.

Deleting a dataset

Click the trash icon at the end of the row. The system asks for confirmation and shows the dataset name.

Deleting a dataset

Deleting a dataset affects every map

A deleted dataset disappears from every map using it, including published maps. This cannot be undone — check carefully before confirming.
