Working with data pools

Introduction

Data pools store data entities that have been tracked via de-dupe shape and track data shapes.

Data pools are created and managed via the data pools option in general settings. From here you can add a new data pool, or view/update an existing data pool.

For more background information on data pools please see de-dupe shape and track data pages.
