Creating dataspaces
Procedure
-
Click the dataspace selection button in the left navigation bar and click Create Dataspace.
-
On the New dataspace screen, enter a short code. This is a technical code sequence, for example, "inv-123", that will be used internally to identify the objects in the dataspace. It will also be included in the URL and in the dataspace selection button. It is therefore recommended that your short code is 7 characters or less.
The short code cannot be changed after the dataspace is created. However, you can clone a dataspace into a new one to use a different short code.
-
Specify the title of the dataspace. This is a searchable string that is displayed in the main dataspace list.
-
Enter a description. This is a searchable string that is displayed when you hover your cursor over the dataspace list.
-
Select an icon for the dataspace.
-
Specify a color for the dataspace.
-
Optional: In Clone from, select an existing dataspace from which to populate the newly-created dataspace. This clones of all the objects in the selected dataspace to the new one.
-
Optional: In Shared with, enter a list of Siren Investigate ACL roles that are allowed access to this dataspace. You can select the access level for each role.
-
After creation you will be redirected to the new dataspace.
Access levels
The user roles can be assigned to different access levels in the Shared with section. The access levels differ in the permission sets granted to them:
-
Read-only: Can only view all public objects in the dataspace.
-
Private creator: Can create private dashboards, graphs, and bookmarked searches.
-
Shared creator: Can create and share dashboards, graphs, bookmarked searches and Sentinl watchers.
-
Content manager: Full read/write/delete access to dashboards, graphs, bookmarked searches and Sentinl watchers. Content managers can also reorder the layout of the Dashboard page.
-
Data model manager: Full read/write/delete access to all objects in the dataspace.
-
Dataspace manager: Full read/write/delete access to all objects in the dataspace and the permission to change and delete the dataspace itself.
The following tables outline these permissions:

Editing dataspaces
If you are a Dataspace manager, you can edit dataspace metadata and sharing permissions.
-
Click the dataspace selection button in the left navigation bar.
-
On the row of the dataspace you want to edit, click the ellipsis button under Actions.
-
Click Edit. From this screen, you can change all of the properties, except the dataspace short code.
You can also edit the content of a dataspace. For example, you can create or modify any object or upload data from a CSV file.
Importing data into dataspaces
You import data from the Data model app, where you can use some advanced options to set how you share the data across dataspaces. For more information, see Importing data into dataspaces.
