When you make changes to a dataset, or are considering making changes, it is important to be able to assess the impact that those changes will have on downstream reports and dashboards that depend on that dataset. Dataset impact analysis provides you with information that can help you make this assessment.

You can perform dataset impact analysis on both shared and unshared datasets. However, it is particularly useful for datasets which are shared across workspaces, where it is much more complicated to get a clear picture of downstream dependencies than it is with unshared datasets, all of whose dependencies are located in the same workspace as the dataset itself.

Join Phoenix and Simpson Associates on Wednesday 6 January at 10am, as we take you through some of the methods of doing this and things to consider when making changes.
