   Tip
   Tip: In some cases, If the current sample indicates Full Data, then the entire dataset is displayed in the data grid. Unless you wish to use a specific sampling technique to filter down your data, sampling may not be useful across the entire dataset.

4.  Below the current sample, you can see the available sample types. To take a new random sample:
   1. Click the Random card.

   2. Depending on your product edition, you may be able to select Quick Scan or Full Scan.

      1. Quick Scan creates your sample by making some assumptions about the data when it scans.
      2. Full Scan creates your sample by scanning across all rows of the dataset. This option can take awhile across a large dataset.
   3. Click Collect.
5. The sampling job is queued for execution. When it completes, click Load Sample.
6. The data grid is refreshed to display the rows gathered in the new random sample.
