Layout Overview
The Data tab is organized into three areas.| Region | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Creation Checklist | The five setup stages the dataset passed through: data source, annotations, index type, upload, and indexing |
| Media Preview | A grid preview of the media that was uploaded into the dataset |
| Activity Log | A chronological log of operations on the dataset with timestamps and status |
Creation Checklist
The creation checklist displays the five stages that ran when the dataset was created. Each completed stage is marked, so the checklist doubles as a record of how the dataset was configured.| Stage | What It Represents |
|---|---|
| Select Data Source | The data source the media came from (ZIP upload, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and so on). See Create a Dataset for the supported sources. |
| Add Annotations | Any annotation file attached at creation time. Skipped if the dataset was created without annotations. See Importing Annotations for the supported formats. |
| Select Index Type | The index configuration applied to the dataset at creation. |
| Upload Data | The upload step that transferred media into Visual Layer. To add more media after creation, see the Add Media API. |
| Visual Layer Indexing | The embedding and enrichment step that makes the dataset searchable. While this stage runs, the dataset shows an Indexing status in the Dataset Inventory. |
Media Preview
The media preview is a paginated grid of the images uploaded into the dataset. Each card shows the image, its file name, and an indicator for whether labels were supplied with it. Use the preview to confirm that the right files landed in the dataset, to sanity-check a sample before running enrichment, or to verify that label files were attached where expected. Clicking into the Explore tab gives you the full browsing, search, and filter experience.Activity Log
The activity log is the chronological record of operations run on the dataset. Each entry shows the operation type, a timestamp, and a status. Typical entries include:| Entry Type | Source |
|---|---|
| Creation and configuration | Dataset creation and initial configuration steps |
| Upload and indexing | Media upload and embedding/indexing runs |
| Enrichment | Enrichment jobs triggered from the Enrich tab |
| Export and share | Export and share actions |
