This page describes how to request data from another user and how to prepare an onboarding.

Request to share data

It is possible to request data from another user and receive an email notification when the recipient uploads the requested file. When someone requests data from you, then you will also receive an email.

After the file is uploaded the prepare onboarding page is opened, where the recipient can start a new onboarding by using the uploaded file as input.

A request to share data is created automatically when a user is invited for a new collaboration, see Benutzer für Datenaustausch einladen

Also, it is possible to request to share data manually by selecting a folder on the Data View and clicking on the Request Data button:

The following form needs to be filled in:

Prepare an onboarding

Onboarding can be started in the App to process an input file, like a product catalogue file.

We have three different ways to prepare an onboarding:

1. Upload a file from the Home page

2. Select an existing file on the Data View and click on the Onboard button

3. Share data to fulfil a request

   1. Double click on the request to share data under the My Work section

      

   2. Upload a file

      

After a file is uploaded or selected, the onboarding process can be started by following the steps:

1. In the first step, Share Data, upload a file, select the content type, the data provider and the target location

2. In the second step, Confirm Format, check if the right file is uploaded and it is loaded correctly. If you need it, please fix the file format and reload the file.

3. In the third step, Gather Information, specify the mandatory standard attributes.

4. In the last step, Start Onboarding, verify the inputs and click on the button Start to start a new onboarding. A new Job is created which contains the generated results and feedback tasks. Please feel free to give feedback and reprocess. Once you are happy with the results you can download and use it. You will receive an email when the processing is finished which will describe in detail what are the following steps.
