Pinned data

Are other organisations’ datasets important to your work? Pin their data to your portal so your users find it quicker. Like a desktop shortcut, pinning doesn’t copy the data: it adds a link to the data in your own portal.

  1. Search for the dataset in the data catalog and open it.

  2. Select the … actions menu, then select Pin to portal.

  3. In the Pin to portal dialog, select Pin.

The dataset now appears in search results for your portal’s users.

Open the dataset, select the … actions menu, then select Unpin from portal and Unpin. The dataset no longer appears in your portal’s search results. If you featured it on your homepage, it’s unfeatured too.

Pinned data stays under the ownership of the original publisher, and you must follow its licence. For more information, see Finding licence information.

  • The owner stays responsible for storage costs.
  • Usage costs, such as exports, are allocated to your portal’s billing.
