Data catalogue

The Data Catalogue will help you understand what is available before research starts. 

Filter by Dataset, or Search the Data packages, to help refine your search. 

If further Product information is available (like the data item list) a link will be provided. 

When it is known what data packages will be required, take note of the

• Data asset, and
• Dataset categories

These categories will be needed when adding data to the project proposal.

From the Data tab of the project proposal, select the 'Add' button.

Select the Data asset category, by clicking the magnifying glass. Select one of the data assets, and then repeat for the Dataset category.

Now you have filtered to the Data asset and Dataset, the description shows what Data packages are available within this category. 

If this suits your research select the Next button, from the bottom right location. 

Within the project proposal, when selecting a Data package you may be asked for justification. If required, the justification text displays in bold text below the Dataset description.

You can select one, many or all Data packages by ticking the corresponding box.

When you have finished your data package selection, and provided a response to the justification, select Save.

If you have not selected one to many data packages you will receive an error message.

If you have not entered the mandatory justification you will receive an error message.

When all Save conditions are met you will be returned to the project proposal - where you can continue your proposal. 

If no data packages meet your needs, you can exit the 'Select data package' form by choosing the 'go back to project proposal' breadcrumb link.

Either through a new project or a Change request (Scope, Data and Output) you may want to add or remove more data packages within the dataset. 

Select 'View details' from the action menu shown on the Dataset row.
