You can make an investigation version available to all CSSI DCC users by requesting open access for this version. 

  1. Preview the investigation, as described in Previewing an Investigation
  2. If you are satisfied with the content of this version, click Request Open Access. The Request Open Access dialog box appears.
    The text of the Request Open Access dialog box is available in the software.

  3. If the data in your file is subject to an embargo, which is a period during which access is not allowed, enter the date when that embargo should be released. 

  4. In the Comments field, describe this version of the investigation and provide any other comments you want to associate with this open access request. 

  5. Click Submit. An administrator processes your request. You can confirm the open access state of your investigation version by checking the following indicators on the Upload ISA Archives page: 

    • The value of the Open Access Version field equals the number of the version that is currently open to the public.

    • The Open Access Status field should be Current Version, Open Access approved on <date and timestamp>

    If another version of this investigation had been made open access previously, the system automatically removes it from open access.

    Upload ISA Archives page with the open access investigation version.
