Finding the Data Records in a Data Set
Problem
You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Data Records contained within a specific Data Set potentially for use in a Content Creation operation.
Solution
The solution is to create a request using the following URI and method type and submit it to the server via the Data Set Entity REST service:
Get Data Records for Data Set | /rest/serverengine/entity/datasets/{dataSetId} | GET |

var dataSetId = $("#dataset").val();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets/" + dataSetId

.done(function (response) {
c.displayStatus("Request Successful");
c.displayHeading("Data Record IDs for Data Set '" + dataSetId + "'");
c.displaySubResult("Plain", c.jsonIDListToPlain(response));
