See this article for more information about data sets.

Step 1.1: Navigate to the 'New data set' page

by first clicking on the Data sets button in the left navigation bar

You see that the first step General settings is already completed. If you click on it, a page opens where you can adjust the name, description and asset type we just filled in.

Clicking on the different steps in the navigation bar on the top allows you to go back and forth, or do the steps out-of-order. Steps that are not possible to complete before another will be disabled.
