Showcasing your data

Some data assets look like a work of art: A map, a chart, or an app that is built based on a dataset and brings real value and shows just how powerful that data can be.

For example, this page uses a dataset of employee satisfaction to display this key entreprise data in a clean, visual way.

💎 So, a showcase is a concrete usage or enhancement of one or more datasets in the form of a map, visualization, external application, or any other data-driven project.

It is possible to label any asset as a showcase.

In the portal, this appears as a metadata tag that enhances the asset’s visibility (although note that since it is added as a tag, a showcase inherits the same visibility rules as its underlying asset: public, private, or shared with specific users).

Showcases are built using data from your portal. They’re an example of your data in action.

Showcases are easy to spot in the catalog — just look for the showcase label (1). You can filter catalog search results to see only assets tagged as showcases (2). Some portals may even have a dedicated menu item that links to all of them.

You can also find a Showcases section on the asset page of any dataset used to create a showcase-labeled asset.

Your portal administrator may enable external submissions for new showcases (3). When submitting a request, you will be asked to fill in the basics: title, description, link to the data usage, goals, related datasets, etc. Note that you are given a choice to submit the showcase on behalf of yourself or your organization.

The submissions will land in the admin’s request box, where they can review and approve them.
