A reference dataset is a link to the output of a set of transformation steps, which can been used elsewhere in the application.
Note
A reference dataset must be created from the context menu of a specific recipe. When added elsewhere, a reference dataset is a read-only object.
For more information on creating reference datasets, see View for Reference Datasets.
