After you find a data collection that meets your requirements, you can place an order to gain access to the data collection.
To order a data collection, 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.
- Create and Read permissions are enabled in Metadata Command Center for orders.
- Read permission is enabled in Metadata Command Center for cost centers, data collections, delivery targets, terms of use and usage contexts.
Note: Your administrator may tailor the data ordering experience according to the needs of your organization by creating a different layout for the wizard. If you have multiple layout options available to you, you can use the Switch Layout icon to switch between the layouts to view a different presentation of information on each layout. You can click the Set As Default icon next to a particular layout to set it as your personal default.

The following table describes the fields that you can configure on the Request Details page:
Field
Description
Usage Context
Select the option that accurately describes how you intend to use the data after you receive access to the collection.
If none of the listed options accurately describe how you intend to use the data, select the option that bears the most resemblance to your usage.
Business Justification
Enter a brief description how you intend to use the data after you receive access to the collection.
A stakeholder of the data collection reads this description to decide whether the order for this the data assets is valid.
Delivery Target
Select a delivery target for the data collection.
If a default delivery target is configured for the data collection, that delivery target is selected by default.
If no delivery targets are configured for the data collection, the default delivery template that is configured for Data Marketplace is selected by default.
If no delivery targets are configured for the data collection and if a default delivery template isn't configured for Data Marketplace, you won't see this field. In such a scenario, a stakeholder of the data collection creates a new delivery target when they fulfill your order.
If you select a delivery target for which the Managed Access option is enabled, a stakeholder may be more likely to approve your order. With Managed Access, the data will be delivered in a location that is accessible only to you. Additionally, the delivered data may get customized based on the characteristics of the data and the usage context that you specify in the Usage Context field. For more information, see the Manage access to data with Data Access Management topic in the Set Up Data Marketplace help.
Delivery Requests
Enter any additional information that pertains to your request. For example, you can specify the urgency or the preferred delivery method in this field.

If you are not aware of your cost center or if the listed options don't list your cost center, you can enter your cost center. A stakeholder of the data collection can select an alternate cost center value when they approve or fulfill the orders.
You can also reuse the information from your previous order. To do this, click Reuse Last Details. If your previous order was for a different data collection, only the Business Justification and Delivery Request fields are automatically populated. If you order the same data collection that you previously ordered, all the fields are automatically populated.
