How Can We Help?
DatasetsDatasets
Datasets contains information about a dataset, which is stored either directly in Pure or in an external location, such as DataCite. Datasets are often created manually or imported from DataCite. Dataset DOIs can be minted directly from Pure.
The content type is be default disabled. Administrators of Pure will have to enable this in Administrator > Datasets > Enable Datasets
Note, that a restart of Pure is expected before the changes will take effect.
Metadata fields
A dataset has a.o. these metadata fields:

- Contact person for dataset
- Temporal coverage
- Geographical coverage and geo location
- Legal and ethical conditions (optional)

Datasets configuration
Configure Datasets from Administrator > Datasets > Configuration
Workflow
Datasets can hold a workflow with 3 steps. Enabling workflow will make the content type appear with workflow state visible in bottom of the Dataset metadata editor. Default is workflow disabled and it must be enabled by Administrators of Pure in Administrator > Datasets > Workflow configuration.
Re-validation can be enabled for Datasets. This will trigger that edits to an already validated Datasets will be flagged with a task to revalidate. Learn more about Fields that trigger revalidation.
