# Osmos Dataset

## Osmos Dataset Source Connector Overview

Leverage the Osmos Dataset Source Connector when you wish to move records from your Osmos Dataset to another destination.   An Osmos Dataset Source Connector is created through the standard connector creation process.  

## **Prerequisites**

Required information:

Note: The Osmos Dataset Connector will be automatically linked to your Osmos Table

## Advanced Options

**Header Normalization**

The source file may have characters at the start or end that includes spaces, tabs, carriage returns and line endings.  You can choose to keep all characters from the source or remove all whitespace.  **Select one of the options:**

1. **Don't normalize headers. Use headers exactly as they appear in the source:** If this option is selected, we will retain all characters from the source file.
2. **Remove extra whitespace and other common untypable characters from headers:** If this option is selected, we remove all whitespace (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, line endings) at start/end.

## Connector Options

The connector can be deleted, edited and duplicated.

#### Duplication

To save time, the connector can be duplicated.  This new connector needs to be named and can be edited, as needed.
