Change dataset name/description when publishing

Is there a way to change the name and/or description of a dataset when publishing it to a Domo Everywhere subscriber? I have a couple needs for this:

  1. Data sets are named with a client ID number that we don't need/want to show to the end users. I considered using tags for the client ID number but you can't search datasets by tags when creating a new publication.
  2. I currently have dashboards that I publish to my subscribers. They get PDP-enabled versions of the datasets that feed them. Long story, but now those datasets will be superfluous for the end user except for feeding the dashboard. They just won't ever need to interact with them. I'd love to be able to hide them from their list of data sets entirely, but I at least want to name them clearly. I can't just rename them in my publisher instance because users on the older architecture will continue to receive them and they will not be superflous for those users. I can't publish the DBs as read only because I need PDP to apply and for the end users to be able to duplicate them.

Or any other suggestions for solving this?

  • I don't think you can rename datasets in Domo Everywhere publishing. And I'm not familiar with any way to hide them. A good workaround might be to use a Magic ETL or data flow in the subscriber to create a renamed version of the dataset. You could apply PDP and keep a clean, user-friendly name without affecting your publisher-side datasets.
