Managing your task inbox as a consumer

As a consumer, your data product requests are listed as tasks which are managed in your Task inbox. Use the Task inbox to monitor approval status and comments for your requests.

Monitoring a request for access to a data product that requires approval

You can monitor the progress of your request for approval in the Requested by you list in your Task inbox.

After you submit a request for access to a data product that requires approval, it is delivered to all producers for review. Producers can accept or reject the request.

To view your data product request:

  1. From the navigation menu Navigation menu, select Task inbox. The Requested by you tab lists your requests and organizes them as In progress or Completed.
  2. To further organize your requests, click the Filter icon alt="Filter options" and indicate your advanced filters.
  3. Click See all activities to track status changes and content revisions.

Monitoring a request for a new data product

After you submit a request for a new data product, it is delivered to all producers for review. An approver can accept or reject the request, or enter a question or comment.

To view your data product request:

  1. From the navigation menu Navigation menu, select Task inbox. The Requested by you tab lists your requests and organizes them as In progress or Completed.
  2. To further organize your requests, click the Filter icon alt="Filter options" and indicate your advanced filters.
  3. Click See all activities to track status changes and content revisions.

Exchanging comments for new data product requests

You can exchange comments and questions about your requests for new data products. After a data product producer has accepted your request, they can send you a notifying comment to ask for more information. You receive the notification under the Notification bell icon bell icon or by email (or both), depending on your preferences.

Notifications generate the following automatic workflow:

  1. Creates a new task in your Task inbox and marks any previous tasks as completed.
  2. Sends a notification either under the Notification bell icon bell icon or by email (or both) to you. You can set your preferences for how to receive notifications.
  3. Stores the comment in the feed for your Task inbox. Click See all activities to view the history of the comments for the task.

You can respond to the comment by clicking Comment and notify from the task. The producer who is working on your request receives a notification of your response. When the producer responds again, you will receive a link to the new task that contains the response. You must access comments from the most recent notification, as older notifications are marked as completed.

Obtaining the URL for the new data product

When the producer marks the new data product request as completed, you can obtain the URL from the task in the Requested by you>Completed list in your Task inbox.
