LibWizard datasets: Create and manage datasets

In this article

The LibWizard dataset allows you to import information about form submissions from your LibWizard site for in-depth analysis of how your forms are used. When creating the dataset, you will choose the individual LibWizard forms, surveys, quizzes, and tutorials—collectively called "forms"—that you want to include. The submission data from these forms will sync on a nightly basis and allow you to view:

  • A breakdown of submissions by month or year.
  • The distribution of submissions by day of the week, weekend vs. weekday, and month.
  • Trends in your submissions over time, with year-over-year comparisons.

These datasets are ideal for getting a bird's-eye view of your LibWizard form usage, especially when you need to analyze trends over time. It's important to note that the LibWizard dataset provides a general overview of submission trends—not the content of the submissions themselves. For detailed analyses of the submission content of individual forms, surveys, quizzes, and tutorials, you'll want to continue consulting the submission reports in LibWizard.

    • By default, all admin users have this permission. However, you can select one or more regular-level users, as well.
    • Each user with this permission will also be able to add and analyze records, as well.
  2. Who can add records to this dataset: This determines which users can add new records to the dataset. 
    • By default, all admin users have this permission. However, you can select one or more regular-level users, as well.
    • This does not automatically give users the ability to analyze records.
  3. Who can use this dataset in analysis and dashboards: This determines who has the ability to analyze this dataset and use it in dashboards. 
    • By default, all admin users have this permission. However, you can select one or more regular-level users, as well.
