The terms of use provide usage requirements and guidelines that a Data User must accept to use the data.
The following image shows the Terms of Use tab on the Setup page:
General Terms of Use
This section displays the terms of use message that appears when a Data User requests access to a data collection. For more information about how you can define the general terms of use, see Defining the general terms of use.
Terms of Use Type
This section displays all the terms of use types that are available in Data Marketplace.
Your administrator defines the terms of use types in Metadata Command Center. For more information about terms of use, see the Terms of use topic in the Set Up Data Marketplace help.
In this section, you can modify the color that is assigned to the terms of use type. You can also configure whether it is mandatory for Data Users to accept the terms of use of a type before ordering related data collections. In Metadata Command Center, you can modify other properties of the terms of use type.
Terms of Use
This section displays the terms of use that stakeholders can add to their data collections. For more information about how you can add new terms of use, see Creating terms of use.
In the Terms of Use grid, you can view the terms of use that you create. If you want to filter the terms of use that are displayed in the Terms of Use grid, click Filter and select the filter that you want to use. After you configure the filter, click Filter again to curate the grid based on how you configured the filter.
For example, if you want to view only the terms of use that are active, click Filter and select the Status filter. In the Status filter, select the Active status and click Filter again to apply it. After you apply the filter, the Terms of Use grid displays only the terms of use that are active.
