Setting up marketplace
Getting access to marketplace preview
To get access to the marketplace preview:
Contact the data.world support team to turn on the Marketplace preview in in the specific data.world organizations.
Once the access is enabled, access the application using the URL: https://[your-subdomain].data.world/switch-layout . Select New Navigation: New experience to opt into the new UI experience.
Navigating the marketplace
To navigate the new marketplace:
Browse to https://data.world/switch-layout. Opt-in to use the new navigation experience.
From the Switch context menu, select the organization that is enabled for marketplace.
Browse to the Marketplace page.
Start by exploring the domains and data products available in the marketplace.
First, you will see a list of all the domains you have access to. Domains act as logical, hierarchical groupings of Data Products, aligned with business functions rather than technical systems. Domains are based on the dwec:Domain collection type.
Browse the list of domains to find the resources available in each domain.
Next, you will see the list of data products available to you. Data products are the primary content type featured in the Marketplace. These are standard catalog resource types (kos-data-product:DataProduct) or custom types extended with required metadata fields (Marketplace Status, Cover Image). They must be marked as instantiable in CTK to be usable.
Click the data product to view the details. Click Edit in catalog to be able to make changes to the item. This is based on access control.
Use the search features on the Marketplace page to quickly find what you are looking for.
Creating data products
This section talks about how to create Data Products in the catalog. You will add the resource, place it under the appropriate domain type collection, and supply a cover image so it presents clearly in discovery experiences.
To create a data product:
In the New navigation experience, open the Catalog page.
In the Resources section, click the New button and select Catalog resource.
On the Create a new resource page, in the Select type tab, select Data product. Click Continue.
The Create a new Data Product page opens.
In the Configure fields tab, set the following in the About section.
In the Title field, provide a clear name for the data product. This appears as the header on the resource page and on tiles in discovery experiences.
From the Collections dropdown, select a domain type collection.
In the Cover image section, add the data product image. Add the image by using brag and drop, the Browse image button, or toggle Enter image URL manually to paste a link. 400x200 is the best aspect ratio for the images but the system automatically adjusts the image to best fit in the available space.
In the Marketplace details section, from the Marketplace Status dropdown, choose the status:
Published to Marketplace: Make the data product visible in the marketplace.
Unpublished: Keep the data product hidden from the marketplace while you finish enrichment. This is the default option.
Complete the remaining fields based on your needs. Click Continue.
In the Review tab, check the configuration details for any possible errors before saving it. If adjustments are needed, click Back to edit the configuration.
Click Create to save the data product.
Publishing data products to the marketplace
This section explains how to make a data product available in the marketplace. Publishing promotes a data product so that it appears in the Marketplace for users who already have access to the resource in the catalog. If a data product is not published, it remains visible only in the catalog.
To publish data products to the marketplace:
Browse to the data product that is ready for publishing
In the Marketplace details section, change the status to Published to Marketplace. This makes the data product available to all users who have access to it. Save your changes.
To remove the data product from the Marketplace, change the status to Unpublished and save your changes.
Adding custom sections to marketplace
Note
Only users with Manage access to the catalog can add or remove sections.
This section shows how to create a custom section on the marketplace home page. Administrators can save a filtered list of data products as a new section. Adding custom sections helps you organize the Marketplace home page around business themes or strategic initiatives.
To add a custom section:
In the New navigation experience, open the Marketplace page.
Use the search bar and the available filters to define the list of data products you want to feature. Use the Domain, Status, or Tag and more filters to narrow down the results. The Add section button becomes enabled only after at least one filter is applied.
Click Add section.
Enter a section name and click Add section.
The new section is added to the Marketplace home page. It displays the data products that meet the filter criteria.
To remove a section, click the Delete section button next to the section title.
