Requesting a datavault project

1. Sign into datastorage.discovery.wisc.edu with your DiscoverIT account and click the link to request space for a new project.

   

2. Fill out the fields in the form with the relevant information:

   • Subject: a name to help you remember the project (can be the same as the folder name).
   • Description: a short description of the data in the project to help with identification later (particularly after archiving).
   • Project PI: the username of the project PI. For example, if Andrew Maier is the PI then put amaier.
   • Organization: WID or Morgridge, whichever is most appropriate.
   • Short Project Name: the name of the datavault folder to be created. Must contain only numbers, letters, and dashes.
   • Expected Size (in GB): The expected size of the project. It will be used to create a quota, but can be changed at any time.
   • Access List: The list of users who should have access to the project. Use comma separated usernames, or if you don't know the username put the full name instead.
   • Backup: Yes if the project should be backed up, no if not.

   

3. Click Create, or Create and add another if you are going to make more projects.

   DiscoverIT will receive a notification and provision the project or follow up with clarifying questions.
