Using DataSets in 1.8
Use DataSets to design and store tabular data so you can easily produce Layouts that will automatically update from information held in a created DataSet.
DataSets come in two parts..
- The DataSet (Data structure and data)

Once defined in the Library the DataSet can be reused across multiple DataSet views and Layouts!
