Definition

The Dataset tab is used to delete datasets from GDM.
Only users with "Superadmin" and "Admin" roles can perform a delete action.
Users with "User" role can only view dataset information using this feature, and cannot delete any information

All delete actions are permanent and will impact GDM immediately.
It is highly recommended to back up data in GDM before proceeding, as actions performed in this tool are not reversible.

Filtering

Filters are used to reduce the records displayed in the table, and users can use this feature to only display records of interest. Use two or more filters to get an intersection list of datasets that meet all filtering criteria.

To filter records:

Go through each of the filters and set values in fields as desired.
Click on "Submit Query" button to apply filters.
To reset fields, click on "Clear" button. This will also clear out all filters.

Filter	Definition
Dataset ID	Used to get dataset records with specific database IDs. The first field is used to get all IDs greater than or equal to the specified ID, and the second is used to get IDs smaller than or equal to the specified ID. Use the two fields together to get IDs within a range
Dataset Names	Use this filter to get dataset(s) with specific names. Specify list of names with one line per name. Delimiters such as commas, colons and tables cannot be used in specify list.
Creation Date	Used to get datasets whose entities were created within the specified date range. The calendar tool within the fields will not allow one to specify future dates.
Dataset Type	Display only datasets with specified types
Principal Investigator	Display only datasets that belong to specified Principal Investigator

There is a small notch/arrow right below the submit query button (between the filters panel and the result table) that you can click to collapse the filters. It will result in a bigger view of the result table.

Clicking the downward arrows, on the far right of the Filters label, will revert back to the default view.

Deleting Datasets

STEP 1 : FILTER

Use filters to reduce content of dataset records to desired ones.
Click on checkboxes of desired dataset records.

STEP 2: SELECT DATASETS TO DELETE

Click on red "Delete Selected" button above table.
A confirmation box will pop-up with the list of files you have selected for deletion.
Click "Yes" to proceed, and "No" to abort.

STEP 3: CONFIRM

If you click "Yes", a warning will pop-up alerting you that "This action is not reversible".

If you click "Yes", the selected datasets will be deleted and a pop-up of the summary will be displayed.
