Step 5: Fill out Resource Info

Provide details about your resource by completing any of the available fields, such as:

  • File: Choose either to Upload (a) a file or to include a Link (b) as a resource for your dataset. (These options are shown in the picture below to help them identify them easily.)

  • Description

  • Format: The file format of the resource, e.g. CSV, XSL, PDF, etc.

  • Creator Email

Tip

While none of the fields are required to create a resource, it is a good practice to fill out any of the above fields, based on any relevant information you may have. Even if you’re unsure about some details, you can always include what you know and update the info later if needed.

Add Multiple File Attachments

You can add more resource files before saving. After uploading the first file, click the Add more files button to include additional files in the same form.

These files are treated as a single resource with multiple attachments.

This is useful when you have several related files (e.g. different sheets or formats) that belong together.
