Dataset in the User Manual Index displays data type not dataset info.

![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:") Dataset in the index goes to the data types page, where it describes what a dataset is. Is there someplace better you think it should go to?

Oh ok. I was a little confused because clicking on either Dataset/Data Types remained on the same page. I expecting a more in depth explanation of a Dataset.

FWIW, I updated it to also point towards the page that describes [how to use datasets in scripting](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?working_with_different_datatyp.htm#datasets).
