A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A knowledge manager needs to build out a dataset hierarchy and rename datasets. Which tool does Splunk name?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
One editor owning the whole structure keeps the hierarchy consistent, because a rename or a new constraint has to be reflected everywhere the dataset is used.
Why B
Splunk states that you use the Data Model Editor to create and manage dataset fields, and that you can also use it to build out dataset hierarchies, define datasets, rename datasets and delete datasets.

Now you: objective 9.3 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
You are building a dataset hierarchy in the Data Model Editor and must define each dataset as you add it. Which three ways can you define one?
Sample question 2 of 3
A team models a csv based dataset. What shape does Splunk say the resulting data model takes?
Sample question 3 of 3
You share a data model with the Power role and wonder whether each dataset inside it still needs sharing set separately. What do a model's permissions cover?
