K has the feature to link your Data to collaboration tools for active discussion and business users to quickly provide feedback.
This page will explain how to link your collaboration channels to K and make these channels visible to data users.
Step 1) Linking a Collaboration Channel to K
Select
Platform Settings in the side barIn the pop-out side panel click on Collections
Search for Collaboration Tool Channels in the Collection List
Click Add Instance Will need to be updated with whatever the final button is called
Complete the form and click Add
Name: This is the channel name that will appear in K. We recommend you copying the same channel name that is used in your collaboration tool (e.g. Teams or Slack)
The ‘Link To Channel’ is the URL Link from your collaboration tool. You will need to go to the collaboration tool channel to copy the URL
Channel Type: If you select 'Private' this will mean what???
Only Data Managers have the ability to add a new instance
Step 2) Adding a Collaboration Channel to a Data Asset
The best way to inform your team about the linked Collaboration Channel is to link it to all corresponding data assets.
If your collaboration channel is missing from the drop down options, contact a data manager to ask them to create a new instance first. Question: Can we expand this specific function to Data Users. To get around giving standard users access to the Platform Settings page, you can just add a button her to create instance as well
Click on
Search in the side barLocate the data asset you want to link to the collaboration channel
Click on Edit
Scroll down to Channel and select Channel name you created in the previous step
Click Close
The channel link will now appear in the summary pane and users can click this to directly launch into your collaboration channel
