# Create a dataset from a connector

## Create a dataset from a connector

You already configured a connector, that you want to use in order to retrieve your data. For that:

1. Click on the dataset creation button on from your configured connector

2. Make the appropriate configuration in order to retrieve the data. Refer to your connector [documentation](/data-management-in-datahub/datasources-in-toucan/managing-connectors/setting-up-a-connector.md) in order to setup the configuration
3. Validate the configuration
4. Prepare your data thanks to our no-code transformation tool YouPrep™ (know more about YouPrep [here](/data-management-in-datahub/datasets-in-toucan/preparing-data/overview-of-youprep-tm.md))

5. Save your new dataset by clicking on the button "Create" (at the bottom).
6. Give a name to the dataset (the name shouldn't be already used by another dataset), and select the storage type between storing it in Toucan, or having it as LIVE data.
7. Click on "Save" to save your dataset. If you store the dataset in Toucan, you also canto "Save and refresh" the dataset in order to make it available to use

{% hint style="info" %}
When making the configuration in order to retrieve the appropriate data, note that you can refer to variables (more on variables in this [page](/data-management-in-datahub/using-advanced-data-concepts/advanced-syntax-for-variables.md)) instead of giving a fixed value.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs-v3.toucantoco.com/data-management-in-datahub/datasources-in-toucan/managing-connectors/create-a-dataset-from-a-connector.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
