Newbie here. I get that dashboards are merely published analyses, and analyses contain datasets, and datasets make use of connections. I can see dashboards, analyses, and datasets on the left-hand side, but where are the connections?? This is probably a dumb question. Do I not have rights to see all the connections?
Also, a analysis (or do you call it a report?) was shared with me and I’ve been editing it. It, obviously, contains a dataset. I’d like to refresh that dataset, but when I go to the list of datasets I don’t see the one from the report. Where is it??
QS doesn’t show a list of DataSource (connections) on the dashboard, But you can see them with API or CLI. When you create a new dataset, It will show you all the existing datasources, but not a stand-alone page where you can see a list of all datasources.
The dataset and datasource also needs to be shared with you, then only you can do that.
@Jonathan_Brune, welcome to join the QuickSight Community and glad to hear we have new users.
First of all, the name of the dataset can be different with the name of the analysis. make sure you have validated the name of the dataset in the analysis. you may refer to below screenshot
And there is a chance that the dataset owner didn’t share you the access right on the dataset.
You may not have the right to see all dataset or data source. It depends on whether the owner has shared it with you or not.
