1.2.3 Configure Datasets
In this exercise, you’ll configure datasets to capture and store profile information and customer behavior. Every dataset that you create in this will use one of the schemas that you built in the previous step.
Context
After defining what the answer to the questions Who is this customer? and What does this customer do? should look like, you now need to create a bucket that uses that information, to receive and validate data that was sent to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform.
Create Datasets
You now need to create 2 datasets:
- 1 dataset to capture the information that answers the Who is this customer? - question.
- 1 dataset to capture the information that answers the What does this customer do? - question.
Log in to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform by going to this URL: .

In the next screen, you have to select the schema that you created in 1, --aepUserLdap-- - Demo System - Profile Schema for Website
.
Click Next.
Let’s give a name to your dataset.
As the name for your dataset, use this:

Click Finish.
You’ll now see this:
Go back to the Datasets overview. You’ll now see the dataset you created pop up in the overview.
Next, you’ll configure a second dataset to capture website interactions.
Click + Create Dataset.
You have to define a dataset from the schema that you defined in the previous step. Click the Create Dataset from Schema - option.
In the next screen, you have to select the schema that you created eralier, --aepUserLdap-- - Demo System - Event Schema for Website

Click Finish.
You’ll then see this:
Go back to the Datasets overview screen.
You now have to enable your datasets to be part of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform’s Real-time Customer Profile.
