Datasets are an exact copy of what the data was on a certain date and can be created at any point in the year.
Data Extracts may be taken from Datasets.
LandMark encourages counties to create new datasets at least twice a year: AFTER values have been set for the Excise Report and AFTER the Tax Roll has been created.
