Add a Data Set

To add a Data Set to the ClearSCADA database:

1. Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
2. In the Database Bar, right-click on the System or Group to which you want to add a Data Set.
   A context sensitive menu is displayed.
3. Select the Create New option.
   A further menu is displayed.
4. Select the Tables and Grids option.
   A further menu is displayed.
5. Select the Data Set option.
   A Data Set is added to the root of the System or to the selected Group (depending on your selection in step 2). It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name.
6. Enter a suitable name for the item (taking into account the ClearSCADA Naming Restrictions).
7. Press the Enter key or select another part of the ViewX interface to confirm the entry.

When you have added a Data Set to the system, you can then Configure the Properties on the Data Set Form, or Edit a Data Set and add fields to that Grid.
