CS-DCC helps you share data with custom agreements

Members of the CS-DCC data hub can, as data owners, streamline their information gathering processes for determining if, when, and how to share research data.

Develop the questionnaires and associated license templates together with the CS-DCC team and run them on CS-DCC infrastructure. Now potential data users can follow your custom links, answer questions and help you manage the flow of your data.

Testing Steps

  1. Begin Questionnaire
    Start your test by selecting one of the questionnaire:
  2. Verify Your Email as a Requestor
    Use the sandbox email inbox to verify your identity as a requestor. Any email works. Important: use the same email later to log in to the dashboard if you want to see your negotiation history for that address.
  3. Submit Responses
    Complete the questionnaire and submit.
  4. Owner Email Review
    Verify using owner@drt.ca in the sandbox email to review all questionnaire responses. For testing, this is the only valid owner email—other emails will not show owner-side history.
    Owner Email:
    owner@drt.ca
  5. Make a Decision
    Based on the responses, choose one:
    • Accept responses.
    • Request additional feedback (send the questionnaire back).
    • Reject (clearly state reasons).
  6. Interactive Communication
    Notifications to both requestor and owner in the sandbox inbox simulate their email exchange. (Sending emails from this inbox is disabled.)
  7. Automatic License Generation
    Once responses are accepted, a license document is automatically generated.
  8. Review Generated License
    View the generated license document attached in the sandbox email sent to the owner@drt.ca.

Dashboard Overview and Alternative Testing Method

  • Use the Dashboard to track everything easily.
    • Log in as the requestor with the same email you used to answer the questionnaire to view your negotiation history and communications.
    • Log in as the owner with owner@drt.ca. For testing, this is the only valid owner email—other emails will not show owner-side history.
  • Review submitted questions, responses, negotiation history, and the negotiation status.
  • Access summary statistics of all requests handled by the owner.
  • Optional: Extended Dashboard Testing For experienced users, questionnaires and review processes can be managed directly through the dashboard, eliminating reliance solely on email links.

For Data Owners
