Managing your task inbox as a producer
You can manage your assignments and tasks in your Task inbox. As a producer, you receive data product requests to complete and access requests for data products that require approval to review.
Processing requests for data products
Requests to access a data product or to create a new data product can be assigned to or claimed by specific producers. Producers must have either the Admin or Editor collaborator role.
When a consumer requests a new data product with a domain selected, the task will be assigned to the domain owner. If a domain is not selected, the task will be assigned to you or any producer who has the Admin collaborator role in the Data Product Hub community.
To claim a task:
- From the navigation menu, click Task inbox to see your open and completed tasks.
- 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.
