What gets included
When you create a dataset, the following are automatically included:- All active spectra for the chosen sensor (archived spectra are excluded)
- The samples linked to those spectra
- All sample properties defined in the project, with their values per sample
Click create
Click Create Dataset. The button shows “Creating…” while the snapshot is being built. This usually takes a few seconds. You’re redirected to the dataset’s detail page where you can inspect everything that was captured.Errors
The sensor has no active spectra
The sensor has no active spectra
