How to request data?

Modified on Fri, 23 May at 12:46 PM

You can request data from anyone. Wherever you can enter data, you can also send a request to someone with the information in hand to fill it up. 


To do so, click on the “Request data” button on the top right of the data block. In this example, we will be requesting carbon emission targets.  



On the window that appears on the right, you can specify to whom the request should be sent, the deadline of the request and add a description to give your data provider context on the data points. 


You also have the option to add a recurrence to the request. For example, if you know that you will be requesting the same data every year, you can already automate it.


Once you click on send, you will be able to access it through the ‘Request’ tab in the top menu, under ‘Sent’. It will be marked as ‘Pending’ until your data provider clicks on the link they just received and fill out the required information. You can access the request details by clicking on it. 


Once on the request page, you have access to all the details. This is exactly the page the person you requested data from will be seeing. 


And this is what they will be seeing in their email inbox.
