Requesting new data collections

If you can't find a data collection that meets your business requirement, you can request the creation of a new data collection from a category page or from a data collection page.

To request a new 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 for data collection requests are enabled in Metadata Command Center.
- Read permission for categories or data collections is enabled in Metadata Command Center.
- Read permission for cost centers and usage contexts is enabled in Metadata Command Center.

Note:

Your administrator might customize the experience for requesting new data collections 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 image shows the overall process of requesting the creation of a new data collection in Data Marketplace:

The overall process of requesting a new data collection in Data Marketplace. A Data User requests a data collection based on an existing data collection from the Data Owner. When a Data User can't find a Data collection that meets their requirements, the user requests the Data Owner of an existing data collection or a Category Owner to create a new data collection. If either stakeholder approves the request, the stakeholder creates the data collection with the data assets that Data Marketplace Administrator created. The stakeholders can also create the data collection based on the asset types that the Data Marketplace administrator enabled for the integration source. If the stakeholders reject the request, the system notifies the Data user.

Note:

The process flow is illustrated using the predefined roles for Data Marketplace.
