Creating Networks

Creating a Network

Networks are shared spaces where multiple organizations can collaborate on specific data collections.

• Identity: Upload a network image and provide a Network Name.
• Handle: Choose a unique Network Handle to identify the workspace across the platform.
• Purpose: Use networks to group related collections and organizations together for collective querying.
  

Sharing Collections

Once a network is established, you can populate it with data from your existing collections.

• Add Collections: Select which of your collections to share within the network.
• Private Data Sharing: You can add Private collections to a network. This allows other network participants to query that specific data without you having to make the collection "Public" to the entire platform.
• Granular Control: You can enable or disable specific collections within the network at any time to manage what is currently accessible to participants.
  

Inviting Participants

A network is only as powerful as its members. You can invite other entities to join your shared space.

• Invite Organizations: Search for other organizations by their handle or name to invite them to the network.
• Manage Roles: Track the status of invitations—see who has already Joined and who is currently Invited.
• Collaborative Access: Once an organization joins, they gain access to query the collections you have shared within that specific network.
