Create new objects from Worksheets

The Worksheet is a useful tool for exploring data. Those explorations can lead to creating new useful objects, such as dashboard cards, Monitors, Resource Datasets, and other types of Datasets.

Create a dashboard card from a Worksheet

A Worksheet stage can be added to a dashboard by selecting the stage, then clicking the Add worksheet to dashboard button at top right. You can select any existing dashboard, or create a new one.

Create a Monitor from a Worksheet

A Worksheet stage can be used to create a new Monitor by selecting the stage, then opening the stage's context menu and selecting Create a Monitor.

Create a Dataset from a Worksheet

A Worksheet stage can be used to create a new Dataset by selecting the stage, then opening the stage's context menu and selecting Publish Dataset. The type of Dataset is automatically set by the OPAL that has been written. For instance, starting with a Worksheet of log data with some filtering will produce an Event dataset. To produce a Resource dataset, use make_resource before clicking Publish Dataset.
