I have a table that gets populated based on a Named Query. I am trying to find out how to access that dataset through scripting. I know it is possible to access them from this documentation ([Datasets - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Datasets)), however that only explains if I created the dataset through scripting itself, not about how to access a dataset that is created elsewhere as I have not given a specific name to the dataset like the one in that documentation of “cities”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/6/c6e4b1fd03a4ae2221034a9b4eb59afd63128744.png) ---

When scripting you can use the property explorer to find your table and the data property and it will automatically generate the path for you. Note the highlighted parts ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/1/11e91440314ff17fd97baf352118ea4c554b43d5.png)
