References Page
A reference dataset is a link to a recipe's output, which can been added to other flows.
Note
A reference dataset must be created from the context menu of a specific recipe. When added to another flow, a reference dataset is a read-only object.
For more information on creating reference datasets, see View for Reference Datasets.

To create a reference dataset, click the plus icon next to any recipe you want and select Create Reference Dataset. A reference dataset is created from the recipe asset.
You can filter the reference datasets based on the ownership of the datasets.
All: All reference datasets which you have access.
Owned by me: All reference datasets that you own.
Shared with me: All reference datasets that have been shared with you.
Columns:
Name: Name of the reference dataset.
Owner: Owner of the reference dataset.
In flows: Count of flows where the reference dataset is used.
Source: Flow from which the reference dataset was created.
Last Updated: Timestamp when the reference dataset was modified.
Actions:
Browse: If displayed, use the page browsing controls to explore the available objects.
Search: To search object names, enter a string in the search bar. Results are highlighted immediately in the page.
Sort: Click a column header to sort the display by the column's entries.
Context menu options:
Note
The context menu options vary based on the ownership of the datasets.
Preview: Inspect a preview of the dataset.
Note
Preview is not available for binary format sources.
Add to Flow: Add the dataset to a new or existing flow.
Edit name and description: Change the name and description of the dataset.
Delete Reference Dataset: Delete the dataset.
Warning
Deleting a reference dataset causes all references to it to be broken in the flows where it had been added. These broken references should be fixed by swapping in new sources.
