How to share data

To share your data or files

1. Log in to your DArT account
2. From the List of Orders page, navigate to the  ‘New Data Share’ menu item
   
3. On the New Data Share Page, enter the following information:
   1. Name of the data share e.g. My Data Share 001589
   2. Description of the data share, e.g. Wheat raw data share to colleague
   3. Expiry period: This is the date the data share will expire and no longer be available to the recipient
   4. Recipient email address: This is the email you want to send the links of the data share to. You can add multiple recipients by select the ‘Add Button’
      
4. Once you’ve entered your data share description information, you can select your data share type. There are three options:
   1. Provide Full Access to a recipient, this will provide access to all available files in every service/order in your account.
   2. Provide Access by File Type, this will provide access to a specific file type for every service/order in your account.
   3. Provide Access to a Service Number, this will provide access to the files related to specific service/order within your account. You can also limit access to the specific file type e.g. only the raw data of a single order.
      To Provide Full Access, select the checkbox next to the ‘All Files for all orders’ option then click the ‘Create new data share’ button
      To Provide Access by File Type, select the file type from the drop-down then click the ‘Create new data share’ button.
      To Provide Access to a Service Number and specific files, either select or search for your service/order based on the DArT order number. Select the checkbox for the relevant service/order and/or specific files only, then click the ‘Create new data share’ button.
      
5. Once you create a new data share, you will receive a confirmation and an Authorisation token.  This token will then be available for you to manage on the ‘List Data Shares’.
   Once your data share is complete, your recipient(s) will receive an email notification with a link to download the files. You can cancel or edit the token and data share at any time before the expiry. Read ‘How to edit or cancel data shares for more information’.
