# Dataset Input

An Analytics dataset.

Properties

DatasetInput inherits properties from the abstract [BaseAssetInput](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.bi_dev_guide_rest.meta/bi_dev_guide_rest/bi_requests_base_asset_input.htm "The base Analytics asset input."). These base properties appear in DatasetInput alongside the properties defined explicitly in the following table.
