Folders

A folder is a directory which contain tables, views, and even other folders. Folders provide a way to group datasets by common themes such as a project, purpose, department, or geographic region. Folders can be further organized by creating a hierarchy of folders.

Paths

Paths are a dot-separated list that indicate the location of a dataset, starting with the name of the source or space in which that dataset resides, followed by any folders or data source structures, and ending in the name of the dataset. A path is used to qualify the dataset when referencing it in a query.

Examples

In the example dataset path reporting.usage.onprem_deployment.daily_usage:

• reporting is the name of the space
• usage and onprem_deployment are folders within the space
• daily_usage is the name of the view

In the example dataset path Sales.Transactions.North-America.salesNY:

• Sales is the name of the space
• Transactions and North-America are folders within the space
• salesNY is the name of the view
