To view the details of a data collection, click the data collection. When you open a data collection, the page contains several tabs.
The following image shows an example of a data collection page:
Summary tab
On the Summary tab, you can view the properties of a data collection.
Prerequisites
To view the properties of 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 Predefined roles.
- 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 is enabled in Metadata Command Center for categories, data collections and usage contexts.
Data Collection Summary section
The following table describes the fields in the Data Collection Summary section:
Field

As a Data User, you can refer to this description to determine if you need the data to make business decisions.
Category
Name of the category that contains the data collection.
Certified Use
The uses for which the data is best suited as specified by the stakeholders of the data collection.
For more information about how you can modify or delete a data collection, see the Working with Data Collections help.
Additional information section
View additional details about a data collection that are specified by a stakeholder of the data collection. The fields that appear in the Additional Information section are configured by your Administrator in Metadata Command Center. The Additional Information section displays only the fields for which the stakeholder has specified a value. The empty fields remain hidden until the stakeholder adds a value to them.
For more information about these fields, see the Create custom attributes for objects topic in the Set Up Data Marketplace help.
Stakeholders section
View the users or user groups that are responsible for the data collection. For more information, see Stakeholders tab.
Metrics section
View the essential metrics of a data collection in the form of pie charts and bar charts. This information can help you to decide whether or not the data suits your business needs. Pie charts provide information about the usage context and delivery templates of data collection. Bar charts provide information about the number of consumer access and order timeline details.
The metrics section of a data collection page displays the following two pie charts:
What it's used for? This pie chart shows the usage contexts that the users have entered while placing orders for a data collection. This pie chart displays the breakdown of usage contexts for all active consumer accesses of the data collection.
The pie chart displays the following four segments:
•The top three usage contexts are represented in three different segments.
•The Other segment denotes the remaining usage contexts specified by users.
A legend helps you to understand what each segment represents. At the center of the pie chart, you can find the total number of usage contexts. When you hover over the pie chart, a list of all the usage contexts associated with this data collection is displayed.
Where it's used? This pie chart represents the delivery templates used for the data collection. It displays the top three delivery templates, and the Other segment indicates all the remaining delivery templates used for this data collection. Hover over this pie chart to see the breakdown of all the delivery templates.
The following image depicts the metrics section:
The metrics section also displays three bar charts to indicate the timeline of the data collection orders, number of consumer accesses, and the average delivery time.
•The Orders bar chart indicates the order timeline and displays the number of orders at each stage of processing the data collection order. The timeline of an order has three stages: requested, approval, and fulfillment stage.
•The Consumers bar chart displays the number of active consumer accesses for the data collection.
•The Delivery bar chart denotes the average time taken for approval and fulfillment of the order.
Data Quality Per Asset section
View the data quality score for each data asset available on the Data Assets tab.
The following image depicts an example of the Data Quality Per Asset section on a data collection page:
You can use these data quality metrics to determine the reliability of your data. Data Marketplace uses distinct colors to visualize the metrics. These colors allow you to distinguish helpful data from unhelpful data according to the target and threshold values defined in Data Marketplace or in Data Governance and Catalog.
Your Data Marketplace Administrator uses REST APIs to manage the scores of each asset. For Data Governance and Catalog assets, the scores are measured in a data quality system and are imported from Data Governance and Catalog.
For more information about data quality rules, see the Viewing data quality scores topic in the Set Up Data Marketplace help.
Similar Data section
View the data collections that a stakeholder has linked to the collection that you are viewing.
As a Data User, you can use this section to identify data collections that are similar to the collection that you are viewing. You can then use the Compare button to add the data collections to the Compare page, and you can use the compare feature to determine the data collection that meets your business requirements. If the Similar Data section contains an unpublished data collection, you cannot click it to navigate to the details page of the unpublished collection.
A stakeholder of the data collection is responsible for linking data collections that are similar to the one for which they are responsible. For more information about how you can link similar data collections, see the Linking data collections topic in the Working With Data Collections help.
