When creating or uploading a dataset in Oracle Analytics, it would be extremely helpful to have a built-in option to enable indexing right at the dataset creation stage.

At the moment, we have to first create the dataset, then go into Data → Inspect → Indexing and manually turn it on. This is extra navigation and easy to miss, especially when working with multiple datasets.

Requested Enhancement

Add a checkbox/option during:

  • Dataset Upload
  • Dataset Creation (from DB, files, subject areas, etc.)

to allow the user to choose:

  1. Enable Indexing
  2. Indexing Scope Preference:
    • Dashboard Only
    • Dashboard + Homepage (Search / Spotlight / Recommendation surfacing)

Why This Is Needed

  • Saves time and removes unnecessary steps.
  • Ensures datasets are optimized for search and performance from the start.
  • Avoids users forgetting to index later and the go back and indexing it.
  • Makes dataset creation more complete and intuitive, especially for power users managing multiple datasets.

This small enhancement will significantly improve usability and streamline dataset preparation inside Oracle Analytics.
