# cfxdm - dm:save

Save data into a named dataset

**dm:save:** This cfxdm tag allows the user to save the retrieved data from an extension's tag as a named dataset for later consumption.

**dm:save** syntax**:** Below arguments are supported.

* **name** (mandatory): Name (unique) of the dataset which is to be saved.
* **publish** (optional): Name of the tag to ingest or publish into cfxDimensions platform. It can be used only with cfxDimensions platform configuration.

{% hint style="info" %}
This extension tag is typically used along with [**dm:recall** ](/rda/rda-userguide/rda-data-management-cfxdm/cfxdx-dm-recall.md)tag. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
To list the named datasets, use [**dm:savedlist**](/rda/rda-userguide/rda-data-management-cfxdm/cfxdm-dm-save.md) tag.
{% endhint %}

In the below example, for a reference, we are going to use **VMware vROps** as an extension to query the data and ingest it into **dm:selectcolumns** to select specific columns using include/exclude or both together.

Enter the below command to select **VMware vROps Alerts tag (@vrops:alerts**). (In this example, vrops name is used as a label to identify VMware vROps extension and it's tags. The label is defined while adding the extension in cfxdx configuration file or through UI)

```
tag @vrops:alerts
```
