Complete these configuration fields to create a new dataset on Vocera Platform.
Once you have defined a new dataset as described here, publish the dataset to the Vocera system.
To create a new dataset, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Datasets in the
Settings section of the Vocera Platform Web Console.
The Datasets section displays.
-
Select New Dataset in Datasets.
The Create a New Dataset page displays.

Use the information in the following table to complete the Create a
New Dataset configuration fields.
Field Description Name Enter a name that identifies the new dataset.

Top Level? Select the Top Level checkbox if the dataset being created has no parent dataset. Selecting the Top Level checkbox specifies that this dataset will not inherit any data from a parent dataset.
Selecting the Top Level checkbox enables the Abstract checkbox, but disables the Based On drop-down menu.
Abstract? Select the Abstract checkbox if you want to use this dataset to define common attributes shared between similar datasets.
The Abstract checkbox is enabled only when the Top Level checkbox is selected.
Based On Select a previously defined dataset from the Based On drop-down menu.
Only abstract datasets may be used as the basis for a new dataset.
The new dataset will be based on the existing abstract dataset. Using an existing abstract dataset makes the new dataset creation process more efficient if the datasets share many common elements.
The Based On dropdown list is disabled when the Top Level checkbox is selected.
