Add data collections to your cart

To add a data collection to your cart, use the Add to Cart button on a data collection grid from the Browse and the Search pages, or from within a data collection. You can add up to 10 data collections to your cart.

If you can't find a data collection that meets your requirements, you might request the creation of a new data collection. For more information about how you can submit a request for a new data collection, see Requesting new data collections.

Compare and check out data collections

The My Cart page lets you compare data collections that you have added to your cart. On this page, you can check out multiple data collections simultaneously.

When comparing the data collections in your cart, you can collapse and expand collection details to better understand and identify the collections that meet your requirements. If you want to remove a data collection, click the Remove button, or click Clear Cart to empty your cart. Once you have determined the data collections you need, click Checkout to proceed to the My Cart Checkout page. On the checkout page, there are several rows where you can provide order information to data collection stakeholders for the items that you want to order. For more information about the information you can provide in an order, see Ordering a data collection.

Comparing data collections

How do I use My Cart to compare data collections?

To compare data collections in My Cart, verify one of the following prerequisites:

• - Your user profile is assigned at least one of the predefined roles for Data Marketplace. For more information about the predefined roles for Data Marketplace, see the Predefined roles topic in the Introduction and Getting Started help.
• - Your user profile is assigned a role for which the following privileges and permissions are enabled:
• ▪ Access Data Marketplace privilege is enabled in Administrator.
• ▪ Read permission for categories, data assets, data collections, delivery targets, terms of use and usage contexts is enabled in Metadata Command Center.

Use the Add to Cart button to add a data collection to the My Cart page. You can compare data collections based on stakeholdership, categorization, certified use, and delivery options. You can also use statistics around recent orders and average delivery time to compare data collections, and also compare the data assets that the data collections contain. If your Administrator has configured custom attributes in Metadata Command Center for data collections in Data Marketplace, you can view additional fields in the Additional Information section and use these fields as another point of comparison.

Note:

As a Data User, you can't add an unpublished data collection to the

My Cart

page. As a stakeholder, you can add an unpublished data collection to the

My Cart

page only if you are responsible for the unpublished data collection.

As a Data User, how does the compare feature benefit me?

As a Data User, when more than one data collection seems to meet your requirements, you can add multiple data collections to your cart and compare them using My Cart's compare feature. On the My Cart page, you can view helpful information about the data collections that you have added, such as certified use, delivery options, and stakeholders. The information can help you home in on the data collections that meet your requirements.

After you have identified the data collections you want to order, you can proceed to the checkout wizard from the My Cart page to simultaneously order all the data collections in your cart.

As a stakeholder, how does the compare feature benefit me?

As a stakeholder of a data collection, you can use the compare capability in My Cart evaluate how your data collections relate to other data collections in Data Marketplace. If you discover overlaps between data collections, you can link the data collection to your own data collection. This improves the data discovery experience for Data Users. For more information about how you can link similar data collections, see Linking data collections.
