Dataset in DataLens
A dataset describes a set of data and its structure. Data in a dataset is represented as fields.
DataLens creates a dataset based on a data source for which there is a connection.
A dataset works with sources in direct access mode: it runs all data queries on the source side. At the same time, you cannot change data in the source itself using DataLens.
Note
DataLens limits the time for executing a query to 90 seconds.
