5.2 Understanding and managing datasets

5.2.1 What is a data set

A dataset is a set of information entered for a given period:

Resources used for the production of a production: work groups, purchases, services, etc. → Over the total duration of the production (6 months, 18 months, 3 years, etc.).

Studio activities: energy, business travel, equipment, staff catering, etc. → Over a full calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December.

Several datasets can coexist, making it possible to model different scenarios and compare results. However, only one dataset can be active for a single time-period (see Main version).

5.2.2 Create a dataset

You can create a dataset:

  • from a studio (see the Studio management section)
  • from a production (see the Production management section)

Use the [+ New dataset] button on the relevant page.

A form then opens, allowing you to enter the activity data

5.2.3 Managing dataset

Using the 3-dots menu associated with each dataset, you can :

  • rename, edit, or delete
  • duplicate: to copy the content to another version (useful for moving from Forecast to Actual)
  • mark as In Progress or Completed – for studios
  • mark as In Progress or Delivered – for works
  • mark as Main version – for studios and works – can also be enabled using the small flag.
    • When several datasets coexist, it is essential to designate one as the “Main version”.
      This one will be the only one taken into account in consolidated calculations.
