Managing your task inbox as a producer

Approving requests for access to data products

Access requests for data products that require approval can be assigned to specific approvers or claimed by producers. Approvers must have either the Admin or Editor collaborator role.

To claim a task:

1. From the navigation menu, click Task inbox to see your open and completed tasks.
2. You can claim an open task to indicate that you are working on it. If necessary, you can also unclaim a task so that another approver can claim it.

To approve or reject a subscription:

For each task, review the request and choose Approve or Reject.

If you reject a request, enter a comment to explain to the requester why it was rejected. For rejected requests, the requester can submit a new subscription for the data product with a new business justification.

Documenting data product activity

To document your progress on a requested data product as a producer:

• Select Assigned to you to view all data product requests that are assigned to you. Requests are organized as Open and Completed.
• Click Claim task to assign a data product request to yourself. This sends a status update to the requester that a producer viewed and claimed the request.
• Review the request details and Accept or Reject the request. For further questions or clarifications, you can leave messages to the consumer in the feed by using the Leave a comment field.

Filtering tasks

You can narrow down tasks with the following filters:

• Due date: Identifies tasks that are overdue or nearing their due date. Tasks become At risk when they are not completed 48 hours before their due date.
• Ownership: See which tasks are not assigned or claimed.
• Task type: Displays access requests and data product requests still awaiting approval. Data Product Hub only uses Approval.
• Request type: Separates tasks between data product requests and access requests for data products requiring approval.
