Datasets
========

Load a dataset from an online repository.

**Outputs**

- Data: output dataset

**Datasets** widget retrieves selected dataset from the server and sends it to the output. File is downloaded to the local memory and thus instantly available even without the internet connection. Each dataset is provided with a description and information on the data size, number of instances, number of variables, target and tags.

Example
-------

Orange workflows can start with **Datasets** widget instead of **File** widget. In the example below, the widget retrieves a dataset from an online repository (Kickstarter data), which is subsequently sent to both the [Data Table](../data/datatable) and the [Distributions](../visualize/distributions).
