The Manage organisation page is shown to all users in your organisation, however, the information visible is dependent on the role type and permissions you have. Only Organisation administrators can edit the Manage organisation page.
There are two methods of accessing the Manage organisation page after you sign in to Dataplace.
Method 1: Select the Manage organisation tile on the Dataplace homepage.
Method 2: Select your username at the top right of the screen to open the dropdown menu and select Manage organisation.
The Details page will open by default. Use the left-hand menu to navigate between the functions below.
The Details page displays your organisation's name, entity type, ABN and Legal name, which are pre-populated from the Australian Business Registry. These fields cannot be edited. If the details are incorrect, please contact us.
Important: If you update the Details screen, select the Save button to keep the changes.
Description field: For Australian Government entities, this field is auto-populated from the Australian Government Budget Portfolio Statements and is editable.
This information is available to users when they are searching for data custodians from the Start a data sharing request page.
Enquiry mailboxes: Your organisation can enter two group email addresses. An email must be entered into the mandatory email address field identified by a red asterisk (*). Dataplace will send system and data sharing request notifications to both email addresses, if populated. Only the mandatory email address will be visible to parties to a data sharing request under the Info tab.
Head office address and Postal address: These fields are not automatically populated and can be edited by Organisation administrators.
Data holding tags: If you are an Australian Government entity that controls public sector data (data custodian), you should enter keywords that reflect your data holdings. These keywords help users find the right data custodian when starting a data sharing request. It is recommended to include at least one term from the Australian Government’s Interactive Functions Thesaurus which applies to your entity. For more information see, National Archives of Australia AGIFT
Custodian status: This field is only relevant to Australian Government entities that control public sector data (data custodians). If your organisation has completed onboarding, this field will default to Confirmed. This confirms your organisation can receive data sharing requests.
In the exceptional circumstance where your organisation cannot accept data sharing requests on Dataplace, please contact us for assistance.
