Project Management

A MIDAS project consists of the following resources:

• Primary Dataset - Source data loaded from CSV or other files
• Derived Dataset - Data generated by SQL queries or transformations
• Model - Trained models such as GLM
• Report - Collections of graphs and statistical results

These resources have dependencies on each other. For example, a Derived Dataset depends on its parent Primary Dataset, and a Model depends on the dataset used for training.

Project Management Tabs

Three dedicated tabs are available for managing your project. All can be opened from the File menu or the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+P).

• Project Overview - View and manage resources (rename, delete, view metadata, etc.)
• Project Lineage - Visualize dependencies between resources as a graph
• Compare Projects - Compare with an MDS file to view differences

Dataset Specifications

For details on cascade deletion, lazy evaluation and caching, Materialized View, and automatic SQL updates on rename, see the Datasets page.
