What is the difference between an overwrite and an incremental dataset?

When you upload a dataset, it is configured either in "overwrite" mode or in "incremental" mode.When creating a dataset, a choice must be made regarding data updates:

  • Overwrite
  • Incremental

Overwrite dataset:

In an overwrite dataset, the uploaded file will replace the previous one.In a dataset configured for overwrite updates, you will need to add or replace the new results within your existing file.
Therefore, you will need to upload a file containing all the results you wish to appear.

Incremental dataset:

Conversely, a file configured as incremental will add new data to existing data.With such a configuration, be careful not to upload a file multiple times, as the data will be multiplied and therefore incorrect.
In this case, you will only upload the new data.
