+### Dataset Configuration Locations
+* **datasets.json -** Holds datasets that are present in *all* environments 
+* **endpointConfig.js -** Holds dataset endpoints that are present in *all* environments
+* **uat.js -** Holds datasets (and endpoints) that only appear in the UAT environment 
+* **qat.js -** Holds datasets (and endpoints) that only appear in the QAT environment 
+
+### Dataset Structure
+* **IDatasetConfig.ts -**  fields that come from datasets.json, endpointConfig, and metadata
