As its name implies, a Data Store basically is a place where data can be stored. Data Stores need to contain one or several Data Models that each consist of a combination of tables available in the Data Store. Data Stores cannot be chosen as data basis for analyses, only the Data Models contained in them can.
Figure 4.2: Create Data Store
To create a new Data Store click on the "Add new"-Button in the top right corner of the Data Management entry screen and choose "Create Data Store". This will lead you to another screen where information for the Data Store needs to be given.
Once you made all the specifications you need, click on “Apply” at the bottom of the page to save your changes. The new Data Store will then be shown in the Data Store list on the left side of the Data Management entry screen.
If you have created a Data Store or the respective rights have been granted to you by the creator of the Data Store, you will see a range of different symbols next to each Store in the Data Store list (see Figure 5.2). In parts, the functions of the different symbols should already be known from handling documents (as explained in Handling Documents.)
Figure 4.3: Share, Edit or Delete Data Store
Data Stores can be shared with single users or groups of users. Sharing Data Stores is essentially the same as sharing Documents. When clicking on or, a small menu will appear allowing you to enable or disable rights for each user or group. You can choose between read, write or admin rights.
Please note that the rights you grant for Data Stores do not automatically apply for the Data Models saved within the store. Rather, access rights can be set for each model individually.
By clicking on the -icon (as shown in Figure 5.1) you can change the settings made upon creation of the Data Store.
The edit icon will only appear if you are the owner of the Data Store (meaning you created it) or if write or admin rights have been granted to you by the owner.
By clicking on the-icon your Data Store will be deleted and removed from the Data Store list. The deletion of Data Stores is irreversible so be sure about your decision. A warning message will appear, asking you if you really want to permanently delete the Data Store.
The rubbish bin icon will only appear if you are the owner of the Data Store (meaning you created it) or if admin rights have been granted to you by the owner.
