# Datasets

> Datasets page in IXP on Automation Cloud, including access requirements and navigation changes after the IXP migration.

## Datasets overview for Automation Cloud™ users

:::note
You must have the **IXP Viewer** or **IXP Analyst** roles assigned to access datasets.
:::

Following the IXP migration, the original **Datasets** page in Communications Mining™ has been replaced by the IXP homepage, which includes the Communications Mining datasets.

To get to the **Datasets** page, select the IXP service from Automation Cloud. The **Datasets** page is displayed by default because the Communications Data capability, which includes Communication Mining, is preselected.

From the **Datasets** page, you can:

* View all datasets you have access to.
* Edit or delete datasets.
  :::note
  You must have the **IXP Project Admin** role assigned to edit or delete datasets.
  :::
* Navigate to other IXP capabilities. For more details on each capability, check the [Capability types](https://docs.uipath.com/ixp/automation-cloud/latest/overview/capability-types) page in the IXP Overview guide.
* Search for a specific dataset by name using the **Search** option

## Selecting a dataset (Automation Cloud)

After accessing IXP, the **Datasets** page is displayed. Select a dataset from the list to access Communications Mining, which allows you to handle your datasets through the following tabs: **Train**, **Discover**, **Explore**, **Validation**, **Reports**, **Models**, **Streams**, and **Settings**.

## Copying an existing dataset (Automation Cloud)

When you create a new dataset, you can choose to make a carbon copy of an existing dataset. This means you copy over the same sources, general fields, sentiment selection, labels, and reviewed examples from the dataset you are copying.

Then, you can work on the copy dataset, which requires a different name, and make changes to it without impacting the original dataset.

We recommend copying an existing dataset for the following scenarios:

1. You want to make major changes to your model, in terms of dataset structure, for instance, and want to preserve the original dataset in case you want to revert to it.
2. You want to use the work already done by annotating the original dataset and creating a new dataset to which you can add additional sources of a similar nature.

To copy an existing dataset from another, select the ellipsis next to a specific dataset from the homepage, and select **Duplicate**. Then, fill in the required fields from the **Duplicate Dataset** side-panel:

* **Dataset Name**
* **API Name**
* **Project**
* **Model language** - choose between **English** and **Multilingual**.

## Datasets Settings page (Automation Cloud)

Each dataset has its own settings page, which contains useful information about that dataset. To access the **Settings** page, select the ellipsis next to a specific dataset and then select **Dataset Settings**.

The page is split into the following tabs:

* **Dataset** - update the global settings of the dataset, including the title, description, and sources.
* **Taxonomy** - create, read, update, and delete labels, as well as their descriptions, extraction fields, general fields, and field types. You can also download the complete label taxonomy.
* **Statistics** - view annotating statistics and the message metadata properties.

To delete a dataset, choose one of the following options:

* Select the ellipsis next to a specific dataset from the homepage, and then select **Delete**.
* Select the **Delete dataset permanently** option in the **Settings** tab.
  :::note
  The delete option only appears if you have the **IXP Project Admin** role assigned.

## Datasets overview for legacy users

:::note
You must have the **View Sources** permission assigned to access datasets.
:::

After signing in, you are redirected to the **Datasets** page.

Alternatively, you can navigate to this page anytime by selecting the Communications Mining™ logo at the top of the page.

From the **Datasets** page, you can:

* View all datasets you have access to.
* Edit or delete datasets.
  :::note
  You must have the **Datasets admin** permission assigned to edit or delete datasets.
  :::
* Navigate to other pages in the platform.

Select one of the options listed on a dataset, such as **Explore**, **Train**, or **Reports,** to navigate straight to that dataset.

For the datasets you have access to, you can use the drop-down menu to filter to a specific project that you are part of. This helps to restrict the number of datasets that are displayed.

In addition, you can search for a specific dataset by name using the **Search** option.

## Selecting a dataset (Legacy)

Each dataset card provides some useful information on the dataset:

  ![The image depicts a dataset card on the Datasets page.](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/ixp/ixp-the-image-depicts-a-dataset-card-on-the-datasets-page-388096-2cb2771f.webp)

Each dataset card references:

* the dataset title and description.
* the project the dataset is linked to, and the dataset name, that is the project or name.
* the sources connected to the dataset.
* the model family, that is, the language.
* if sentiment analysis is enabled.
* when the dataset was last changed, and, if you hover, it also shows when it was created.

Select **Explore**, **Train**, and **Reports** on the dataset information card to navigate to those pages.

## Copying an existing dataset (Legacy)

When you create a new dataset, you can choose to create a carbon copy of a pre-existing dataset. This means that you copy over the same sources, general fields, sentiment selection, labels, and reviewed examples as the dataset you have copied the taxonomy from.

You can then work on the copy dataset, which will require a different name, and make changes to it freely, without impacting the original.

The following are the main reasons why you would choose to duplicate a dataset:

* You want to make major changes to your model, in terms of dataset structure, for instance, and want to preserve the original dataset in case you want to revert to it.
* You want to use the work already done by annotating the original dataset and creating a new dataset to which you can add additional sources of a similar nature.

To copy an existing dataset from another dataset, select the ellipsis on the dataset card and then **Duplicate**. This action will auto-select the same sources and sentiment selection as that dataset.

Once you have duplicated the dataset, select all the additional sources that you want to connect to the dataset.

## Datasets Settings page (Legacy)

Similar to the **Datasets** overview page, each dataset has its own individual **Settings** page, which you can access by selecting the **Settings** tab.

The **Settings** page contains useful information about the dataset and is the place where you can perform various actions.

The page is split into the following tabs:

* **Dataset** - Update the global settings of the dataset, including title, description, and sources.
* **Taxonomy** - Create, read, update, and delete labels and their descriptions, extraction fields, general fields, and field types. You can also download the complete label taxonomy.
* **Statistics** - View annotating statistics and the message metadata properties.

From the **Datasets** page, you can also delete the dataset by selecting **Delete dataset permanently**.

:::note
The delete option is visible only if you have the **Datasets admin** permission assigned.
